The emerging trend towards de-dollarization in the EAEU can make domestic monetary policy more efficient as well as facilitate economic integration in the Eurasian space.

A few unfavourable external shocks affected the EAEU countries in recent years led to institutional changes that facilitated de-dollarization in the EAEU member states. Each country applied its own set of tools to achieve the goal, including a more flexible exchange rate and measures against inflation which assumed to be the most efficient one.
