10 сентября 2021

The Heads of Government signed documents on deepening integration today at the Union Council. The parties are already calculating the benefits. According to Roman Golovchenko, the direct effect for Belarus from the integration package is one billion dollars. Mikhail Mishustin's main goal is growth of the welfare of the citizens of two countries! Monetary policy will be more interconnected; tax and customs systems will be synchronized. The Belarusian side will receive access to Russian state purchases and subsidies. Integration will be based on the principles of openness and mutual trust.

The trade turnover between the countries in the first half of the year increased by 35 % and amounted to almost 18 billion dollars. And given the new opportunities that are opening up for state-owned enterprises and private business, there are all the prerequisites for these indicators to grow.
