It served as a regional body promoting economic stability and integration across Eurasia, primarily involving states such as Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, and Tajikistan. The organization eventually merged into the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) in 2015 to form a more comprehensive economic bloc.
