YEREVAN, September 30. /ARKA/. Armenian exports to Russia and other members of the Eurasian Economic Union (EEU) have increased 1.7 times since its accession to the Russia-led trade bloc, according to Tatyana Valovaya, a minister of the Eurasian Economic Commission (EEC), the executive body of the EEU, said today.



Speaking about the general performance of the EEU economies, Valovaya noted that some negative trends have been weakening. "We see this, for example, from such indicators as GDP dynamics. According to the first seven months, it reduced by 0.08%, but over the same period of 2015, it had decreased by 3%,' she said.



According to Valovaya, EEU members have overcome the declining trend in industrial production, which has grown by 0.1% in the first seven months of the year.



"We see very positive results in agriculture where the dynamics is positive in all countries without exception," she said.



EEU’s members are Russia, Armenia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. -0-
