In 2018, Armenia will receive 40% more customs allocations within the framework of the Eurasian Economic Union. This is stated in the draft of the next state budget, which is currently being discussed in the NA executive committees.  

The Government of the Republic of Armenia expects to receive about 74 billion drams (about $154 million) in 2018, which is 1.22% of the estimated customs duties in the EAEU. As a basis, the forecast of the International Monetary Fund regarding imports to EAEU countries in 2018 was taken into account.

It is noted that the forecasts are positive, taking into account the growth trend of the Russian economy.
