26 февраля 2021

Belarus fulfills its external obligations in full: about $ 3,5 billion was spent on servicing the external public debt last year. Redemption of obligations is of great importance. For these purposes, the resources were actively used for refinancing. The results of the work for the past year and the tasks for the current one were discussed today at the final board of the Ministry of Finance. The work was also attended by the Prime Minister of Belarus, Roman Golovchenko. One of the top-priority tasks for this year is maintaining the social orientation of the budget.

The minister also noted that last year was not easy, the budget was executed in conditions of a slowdown in economic activity. Therefore, the income wasn't received in some segments: tax on profits, dividends, payments and income from the petrochemical complex.
