Factors and tendencies of development of economic integration in the Customs union

Abstract

Integration processes in one way or another have always played an important role in developing countries and economies. The integration allows not only to expand markets, reduce transportation costs and customs, but also to stand together against external threats of various kinds, and to pool own financial and intellectual resources for the implementation of large and strategically important projects and reforms. We have to go to an open economy and encourage manufacturers to high standards . Therefore, the Customs Union should not be considered as narrow momentary problem, but in the context of the overall process of accession of Kazakhstan to the world economy.
