Belarusian economy to grow by 1.8%

23 октября 2017

This forecast was made the day before by experts of the World Bank. The main factor of GDP growth is the recovery of the Russian economy. And this, in turn, leads to an increase in Belarusian exports. Analysts note that a favorable external background is maintained, and the country's GDP will continue to grow. The forecast for the next year is slightly above 2%.

According to official data of Belstat, the GDP growth for the last 9 months was 1.7%. But the government expects that in the medium term, the economy will accelerate and reach a figure above 3%.
