The import substitution section of the Belarusian Universal Commodity Exchange proves its effectiveness. Since its launch, more than 4.5 thousand transactions have already been completed with total value of over 35 million rubles. This tool was enabled at the end of May. More than five thousand commodity items are present here. A new form of searching for business partners allows one to quickly and with minimal risk find analogues of sanctioned goods, expand the circle of customers and enter new markets.
