In Belarus, funding for the state program "Small and Medium Enterprises" has been increased this year. The amount allocated by the state to support business has increased by more than one billion rubles. The government has increased funding to support business activity in the country and to implement updated legislation on business issues, with one of the important innovations being granting the right to receive state support to medium-sized businesses. Previously, only small businesses could apply for government financial assistance. As part of the state program, 7.5 billion rubles are planned to support entrepreneurs this year.
