Abstract
The processes of Eurasian economic integration development have not been effective as expected. One of the factors creating contradictions and certain imbalance of interests between the member states of the Eurasian economic community is the increasing prevalence of political aspects over the economic ones, which was clearly manifested in the EAEU development strategy until 2025. In the author’s opinion, the reason lies in a lack of forecasting and analytical tools efficiency by which decisions are taken in supranational bodies of the association. It seems appropriate to develop a set of tools based on the complex of models taken from optimizing cross-sectoral interregional model (OCIM) developed in the 1960s in the Institute of economics and industrial engineering (Novosibirsk). This model is widely used nowadays, as it allows to increase the level of scientific foundation in the decision-making for the further development of Eurasian integration.
