The results of the country's socio-economic development were discussed today at the Palace of Independence. As the head of state
noted, in 2019 salaries and pensions increased by 6%, gold and foreign exchange
reserves increased by a third, inflation reduced. However, four out of seven
most important indicators have not been achieved, i.e. exports increase, influx
of foreign investment, growth of labor productivity and GDP. According to
Alexander Lukashenko, the key issues that hold back the Belarusian economy are
being eliminated too slowly. The President criticized the work of the
government in foreign markets. Also, Alexander Lukashenko didn’t agree with the
government’s proposals on the program for the socio-economic development of Belarus
until 2025.
