1. The world financial and the economic crisis to a great degree negatively affect the economic situation in the CIS countries. The crisis influence force varies from one the CIS country economy to another and depends upon the degree of their integration into global economy, the state of their financial and bank systems, and their stock market. Thus, it is quite clear, that it is not possible to develop the integration processes within the Commonwealth, in the interests of the member-countries, relying on modernizing its instruments and mechanisms, as it had been suggested before.
2. In the process of globalization, the regional states may take in just those efforts of the leading countries that secure solving the problems of primacy with no damage to the political mentality of the countries with lower level of social and economic development, poor countries. There is enough justice in such a statement, “the political dignity is also the ethnic and national self-determination, religious self-consciousness”; and all this in the world where sharp awareness of economic, racial and ethnic inequality has become universal.
3. Building up common mechanisms of financial stability in the countries of Commonwealth could not help resulting in bringing the foreign policy objectives together, in transformation of all the system of the relations of partnership into these of alliance, based on community of ends and tasks of political and economic development, geostrategic and national interests. This is to be provided for, primarily, by the Strategy of the CIS Economic Development up to 2020, adopted by the CIS heads of Governments in last November. The very fact proves, that the countries of Commonwealth have an understanding of their common vector in economic development. Nowadays, the draft plan of implementing the Strategy’s first stage of 2009-13 is being worked out.
