The Belarusian economy in the first quarter worked at the level of last year

Belarus' GDP over the first quarter of the year was at the level of 100%, exports – just over a hundred percent. Such data are provided by the Ministry of Economy on the basis of its analysis of the work of all industries. This means that the pace of development over the first three months remains at the level of last year, despite the sanctions pressure on enterprises that produce premium export goods. The Russian market has a great potential for increasing external sales. Exports there in 2022 should grow by 30%, this is $5 billion. Particular attention is now being paid to import substitution. Until the end of the month, together with the Russians, a list of goods required for production will be formed in order to eliminate duplication.
