Alexander Lukashenko drew attention that the government should take the measures, so that people did not feel discomfort, no matter what sanctions or pressure may be applied. The President demanded to control inflation. It should be amounted to 6% next year. At the same time, the measures taken should not damage the economic development. In general, the results of 10 months of 2021 are positive: the GDP growth amounted to almost 2,5%. The most urgent topic now is high inflation, now it is almost 9%.
The task from the President is to increase sales of goods and services to foreign markets and invest in a competitive industry.

After all, this allows the Belarusian ruble to strengthen its position, and hence the salaries of the Belarusians.
