FBA EAC Committees: Practical Implementation of Expert Structures
The Eurasian business community is united by a shared objective, which the FBA EAC expert committees translate into practical action. These committees serve as operational platforms where the overarching strategy is concretized through projects, standards, and initiatives. By engaging in these activities, businesses actively participate in shaping the integration agenda, transitioning from the role of observers to co-authors of the Single Economic Space.
The Committee on International Cooperation and Tourism exemplifies the elevation of industry to a strategic level. Its scope extends beyond mere route development; it operates at the nexus of politics and economics, fostering the convergence of standards that are fundamental to sustainable development. Tourism is conceptualized as a system that generates employment and stimulates infrastructure development, thereby positively impacting related sectors.
In the contemporary economic landscape, an efficient financial infrastructure is indispensable. This function is overseen by the International Banking Committee. Its primary objective is to facilitate cross-border settlements in national currencies, digitize payment systems, and introduce innovative financial solutions. These efforts establish a financial "blood circulatory system" for integration, thereby reducing the cost and enhancing the speed of mutual settlements for businesses.
Achieving technological sovereignty necessitates the coordinated efforts of two distinct structures. The Committee on Science and Education focuses on laying the groundwork through joint research and human capital development. Conversely, the Industry Committee concentrates on applied tasks, such as localization, the creation of new value chains, and specific projects. Through their synergistic interaction, they ensure a complete cycle—from scientific concept to marketable product.
The transformation of the former Charity Committee into the International Committee on Humanitarian and Social Policy, Charity, and Patronage underscores the critical role of social capital in fostering long-term relationships. Support for cultural, educational, and social initiatives cultivates an environment of trust, which is foundational for sustainable business cooperation.
The collective efforts of these five committees, operating in unison, transform strategic objectives into concrete programs. The FBA EAC's motto, "Build Bridges," is realized through the daily, practical work of expert committees.
