Analytical team | Eurasian Development Bank

Analytical team

The Bank's analysts develop cooperation with multilateral development banks, UN system international organisations and other governmental and non-governmental regional organisations, leading research centres and the expert community.

The Eurasian Development Bank is a recognised leader in applied economic analysis of the Eurasian space. The key areas of the EDB analytical team's work are macroeconomic, integration and sectoral analysis, as well as the analysis of international financial institutions.

The results of this research are presented in analytical products published on a regular basis and devoted to the current state and prospects of the economic development of the region's countries, as well as to sectoral and integration topics:

Analytical block includes:

  • Centre for Country Analysis (CCA)
    The Centre analyses the state of the economies of the Bank's member states and prepares medium- and long-term country forecasts of key macroeconomic indicators. The CCA regularly publishes macroeconomic reviews and forecasts and takes part in consultations with the government authorities of the Bank's member states. The EDB Macroeconomic Outlook is the most authoritative macroeconomic product on the Eurasian space.
  • Centre for Integration Studies (CII)
    Founded in 2011, the Centre focuses on quantitative and qualitative applied research into Eurasian integration. The CII's portfolio includes such breakthrough works as the Monitoring of Mutual Investment, the Integration Barometer, the analysis of non-tariff barriers in the EAEU and the analysis of the macroeconomic effects of the Eurasian Economic Union. The CII also prepares non-public reports and recommendations for the governments of the Bank's member states.
  • Centre for Sectoral Analysis (CSA)
    The Centre was founded in 2021, and its main task is to propose and substantiate cross-border infrastructure projects of systemic importance for the Bank's member states. The Centre's activities also cover industrial cooperation. A significant part of the CSA's work is internal and is aimed at preparing conclusions on the state of the industries in which the Bank's investment projects are implemented.
  • Centre for International Finance Analysis (CIFA)
    The Centre was established in 2024. Its priorities are the analysis of international financial institutions (IFIs), with a focus on multilateral development banks (MDBs), and of the international financial system. The Centre has developed a unique database of non-sovereign financing for the countries of the Eurasian region.
  • EDB Chief Economist
    The analytical team is led by Chief Economist Evgeny Vinokurov, Doctor of Economics (IMEMO RAS, Moscow), Ph.D. (University of Grenoble II), M.iur. (University of Göttingen). He has worked at the Bank since 2006 and has been the EDB Chief Economist since 2020.
