icy conditions, at night from -15 below zero, and during the day to -7. on sunday, weather conditions in our country will be worsened by another southern cyclone, moving through the southeast of belarus to the bryansk region of russia, in connection with this, in many areas there will be snow, sleet, of varying intensity, and at night in many areas during the day, in some places heavy precipitation is expected , the formation of blizzards, the accumulation of wet snow, as well as weak ice conditions. early next week the cyclone will begin to weaken, and temperature records will be set, according to weather forecasters. it’s not worth waiting, by the way, the absolute minimum for the entire period of observation, experts recorded 45 years ago, on new year’s eve in ezerishche the thermometer showed -38. my colleagues will have more information at 15:00 on our air, all

the best. good evening, this is the economic environment on belarus-1 and the satellite tv channel belarus. 24. in belarus

, the annual gdp growth plan was completed ahead of schedule. the increase over 10 months was 3.8% compared to the level of 22 years. according to analytics from the eurasian development bank, gdp growth is driven by expanded domestic demand. retail turnover in october increased by more than 15% year on year. earlier , the world bank assessed the economic situation in belarus positively. the forecast for gdp growth was raised from 0.6 to 3%. germany faces the threat of deindustrialization. manufacturers in europe's largest economy are being hammered by high energy prices. in august 2020 , almost a third of industrial companies reported to the german chamber of commerce and industry that they prefer investment abroad to domestic investment. the reason for negative sentiment is said to be concern about the future without cheap russian gas. the ministry of economics of belarus assessed the return on budget funds invested in the great stone industrial park. the volume of private investment attracted is eight times higher than the budget costs for it. the total number of residents reached

118. over 9 months, they paid twice as much in taxes and fees as in the same period last year, and production volume and revenue increased by one and a half times. the world rating agency has improved the credit indicator of belarusbank to stable. positive reasons cited were the decrease the risk of strengthening capital controls, as well as a more stable situation with deposits than the agency expected. russian investments in belarusian enterprises. grew by more than 40%. according to the ministry of economy, all conditions have been created in belarus to increase the influx of russian capital. in the third quarter, russia's share in the structure of foreign investment increased by six percentage points and amounted to 63%. the budget for the twenty-fourth year provides 20% more for export support than in the current year. this was stated joint meeting of the house of representatives of the council of the republic. the growth of exports in the twenty- third period is also due to the use of state

support mechanisms, for every ruble of budget funds spent, from 12 to 147 rubles of foreign exchange earnings were received. why is export so important for the belarusian economy, which sectors have the greatest potential, how do we support exporters in our country, and are additional measures needed to increase efforts? let's discuss it with competent experts right now. today we have experts in our studio who are well versed in export issues , maxim ermalovich, deputy head of the presidential administration of belarus, inna medvedeva, chairman of the national statistical committee of belarus, andrei kartun, deputy minister of economy of belarus, roman brodov. first deputy

chairman of the board of the development bank of belarus. dear guests, good evening. good evening. good evening. so, export, why is it so important for our country. what government tasks does it solve and how is it related to the balance of foreign trade, payments balance sheet, macroeconomic indicators? the importance of export lies primarily in the fact that it is an opportunity to obtain funds to pay for imports, and indeed, as a factor in foreign trade, export has traditionally been the most important area of ​​economic activity for belarus. why does this happen? in belarus, well , let’s say

, the country is not very rich in natural resources, and in order to ensure its functioning, the economy needs resources, we import energy, import most raw materials, which we use in production, we have a fairly high share of intermediate imports, so in order to pay for this import, it is necessary to produce products not only for domestic consumption, but for export, and for a long time the belarusian economy has been building and arriving at this balance. in order for the ratio of exports and imports to be balanced, the economy is always looking for such a balance, looking for a new quality that allows the country to pay for the import of those goods that it does not produce and

create competitive products, competitive in foreign markets in order to obtain the necessary funds to pay for these imports. that is, exports are the currency that we need in order to finance imports, acquisitions externally from abroad, goods, works, services, intermediate consumption items needed by our economy, what else? and we get richer when our exports exceed the volumes of our imports of domestic consumption, that is, in fact, we can - accumulate our foreign exchange reserves due to the fact that - the volumes... of manufactured products exceed the volumes of consumption of both domestically produced products and imported ones. it is very important. therefore, in order to develop, in order to grow, we cannot do without exporting goods. moreover, the market is global, it is becoming more and more

globalized, therefore, in order for the economy to function effectively, it needs to enter all the markets that exist. will be in peace. what else? and, of course, i will support maxim leonidych in the sense that our economy is truly open, we have a 60% share of imports, we need to balance this, this is what maxim leonidovich spoke about, plus this is also the development of direct scientific personnel potential, because we compete in foreign markets with manufacturers, and accordingly we need to move forward, this science is high technology. today , for example, in revenue, every fifth ruble received is an innovative product, in exports, every third dollar received, or every third ruble received, is high-tech or knowledge-intensive products, and these are products with a high share of added value, and andrei mikhailovich,

tell us, you, as a well-known macroeconomist, a person who has scientific work, deals with this in your direct activity, what is the connection? exports with macroeconomic indicators, well, inna viktorovna spoke about the degree of openness, and so the degree of openness of the economy characterizes the relationship with the external sector, and in this we are the absolute leaders among the former cis countries, so if we talk about the total foreign trade turnover, then our foreign trade turnover is 1.3 times greater than the entire gdp, and 60%, even more. we have a share of exports in the gross domestic product itself, and for some positions, such classic belarusian export positions - this is mechanical engineering, and even exceeds 80%, this means that we produce much more, many times more in some positions,

than we can produce ourselves, therefore , it is clear that the functioning of the economy as a whole depends on the activity of our enterprises in foreign markets in total, this is one of the main sources of the influx of foreign exchange earnings into the country, especially now we unfortunately have no other sources, this is only foreign investment, the inflow is limited, so here, of course, from the point of view of balancing the economy, exports are very important, this is one of the most important macro indicators of the country. roman pavlovich, what government tasks do you think are solved by the supply of our goods, works, services to foreign markets, well, besides those mentioned, yes, thanks for the question, export in general is quite an amazing category, because apart from purely economic aspects, it looks a little like, you know, like... a diamond, depending on what angle you look at it, as if it were shining with light, like many economic

categories, like many, yes, well, what is it export, from the point of view of the legal meaning or such procedural issues, is essentially a fact, a documented fact in the customs declaration, the crossing of goods through the customs territory, and its transfer on a reimbursable basis from a resident and a non-resident, but in an economic sense, it is much more a deep process, because, well, firstly , the number of exporters, the number of entities involved in exporting to the country is a five -digit sum, i will not publicly announce, but it is a five-digit sum, it is difficult to find an enterprise that is not involved in foreign economic activity, and when we translate this into the level of the amount of employment, people who work at enterprises and , accordingly, ensure the stability of functioning both as a business and as a source of income, then this is already a question of, well, let’s say, the functioning country, because the domestic market is small, we want to live better, we all want to receive income through production and activity

, financial and economic, so this is the first factor - the stability of the economy, the second point is the financially proven fact of the success and modernity of the enterprise, because that it is always more comfortable to work in the domestic market than in the external one, but as athletes say, you will never understand your real level until you go on the court with other modern athletes, you won't try, it's peculiar. not only, but understanding whether the market confirms all your, let’s say, advertising announcements that we are the best, we are beautiful, we produce, only the buyer, the final buyer of the product, and not the internal, external, who is spoiled, who has seen everything in world, uh-huh, by voting financially, concluding a contract, confirming that yes, you are a modern business, second, this is a source of motivation, since working in the foreign market always forces you to be the best, inside marketers... engineers can of course move, but modern

top manager, head of the enterprise, he always tries to ensure that his services, his business units, responsibility for the production process for the household, are oriented, strive for the best world taxes, yeah, yeah, well, that is , we come to the conclusion that exports are such an economic category that largely ensures the economic security of our country, the importance of export issues is evidenced by the fact that they are regularly raised at the level of the head of state, where sales markets, logistics, and specific problems, barriers that exist, solutions are determined, yes , appropriate instructions are given, but, uh , they essentially have the same focus, this is the promotion of belarusian products and a systematic increase in supplies. let's listen. export is a currency without which the country and the economy cannot live. moreover, belarus has an export-oriented economy; we

will have to sell half of what we produce in order to live normally, due to the fact that they tried to strangle us last year with sanctions, the established logistics, we had to look for new logistics ways, that is, supply routes, sales of our goods, we need to think about how to increase exports. inna viktorovna, they say that statistics know everything, well, it’s hard to argue with that, you probably know everything, you probably can’t say everything with regard to foreign trade, but tell me, have we managed to overcome the negative trends that have developed since the introduction against the republic of belarus of unfair sanctions, what dynamics does the foreign trade balance of our the country certainly succeeded, if last year we noted a decrease in the pace , including the index of physical volume, for the supply of export products, then this year, for

the supply of products for export, we received an increase, this is unambiguous, this is the first, second, most important thing, we have already reached the twenty-first year and have improved it a little, this concerns the physical volumes of export supplies, this is in fact nine, 10 months, this is in fact 9 months, that is, today we have quite good results. as for the balance, until 2020 year, our balance was usually minus, negative, in 2020 it is... and last year the highest level of positive balance was registered - 4 and almost 60 billion us dollars , as for the current year, in january-september there was also a positive balance in 538 million dollars, this is a good result, because this year, when supplies changed,

directions changed, naturally, there is also import in order to produce products, accordingly, this is the way out... positive the salvo says that supplies have been balanced, to the detriment of our opponents, well, if you allow me, i would like to mention one point, we are often reproached, yes, that there is no place to look at operational statistics on foreign trade and so on, here so that our people understand us, this was done on purpose, this was done correctly, in order not to arm our enemies who are sitting and thinking about where to screw us in. what kind of sanctions packages could we introduce against us, we did this on purpose and the russian federation and many other countries did the same, but we see all our flows, yes, we know, we control, we draw certain conclusions, but tell me, within the framework of what can be said, which industries are

currently demonstrating well, such a maximum or confident export potential is... enterprises of light industry, so these are practically all enterprises, very many enterprises of the machine-building complex, and here , from electronics to equipment, these are pharmaceuticals, a separate the directions of the food industry, chemical materials, in principle, show quite high, very high rates, these directions show, and indeed they are drivers today. that is, these were precisely the areas in which - we understood that the sanctions hit hard last year, and today, again, i want to repeat, please note that they have returned to the level of twenty-first year, by the way, the volumes in terms of value, we have a record for the last 11 years since 2012, we set mainly exports

our number has exceeded 35 billion, and if we talk about what inna viktorovna said, we have not only narrowed the geography, but expanded it, to asian countries and latin america we have already increased supplies to asian countries, for example, by 1.3 times , some countries in latin america have increased significantly, so we managed to diversify, those flows that were in unfriendly countries are concentrated, now they are reoriented, reoriented, i will add that, for example, if last year we diversified mainly in the market cis, then this year. we are already getting growth in markets outside the cis, that is, this is both a long-range arc and work with other countries, this is where it is very important, do i understand correctly that firstly, you are talking about what we have provided - these are the cost parameters exports, if you remember, in january there was a meeting with the head of state, where one of the president’s uh, well, claims was that yes, we

have ensured export volumes in value, but not quite yet in kind. yes, well , the investor says that just the same, and now we are, in fact, an order from the head of state fulfilled, yes, that is, both cost and natural parameters, in fact, have been fulfilled, secondly, we have expanded our geography, and exports, what inna viktorovna spoke about , thirdly, andrei mikhailovich, we can conclude that everything -after all, the share of added value in our exports is increasing, because we are moving gradually, here in the structure there are... changes when, instead of intermediate consumption goods, the share of final products increases, therefore the share of added value increases, but positive changes, maxim leonidovich, well, if you look more broadly, higher, in the context of those global challenges, yes, threats that surround our country from the outside, these are

the negative factors you see that would have an impact on our exports? and if we talk about strategic priorities, what strategic priorities should be or are being included in the progressive foreign trade policy of our country? the most important thing, perhaps, is that exports have always been an economic priority. policies throughout our sovereign history, socio-economic development programs were built precisely on... giving additional impetus to the development of exports, the entire state system, all public administration was built on helping enterprises export their products, and we honestly integrated into the global economy, set themselves the task of

diversifying exports, thereby entering the markets of the european union, there was even a formula where 30% of all exported goods, we were supposed to be sent to countries, the eu 30% is the cis, well, of course, this mainly concerns the countries of the eurasian economic union, and 30% are the countries of the far arc. we built our own economic policy based on this priority. we developed relations within the ias, implemented a program for belarus’ accession to the wto, i was part of it. these negotiations, i remember how we discussed with our european partners all the possibilities for

our country’s access to the market of both the eu and the usa, yeah, well, accordingly, based on our production capabilities, 30% - focused on the distant arc market, but history has completely changed our intentions and i would say that our partners in the european union were guided by absolutely no economic priorities and methods when introducing economic sanctions. as a result, we were forced to redirect a fairly large volume of our products to other markets in a very short time. countries , not only belarus lost from this, first of all the eu countries lost from this, where a really large volume of our

goods were supplied, and these goods, i can say, how former diplomat were highly competitive in these markets. sanctions, that’s the first factor, yes, unfair sanctions, we’ve already talked about them a lot, it’s probably not worth repeating, yes, what else has a big impact, the coronavirus pandemic has had a big impact on trade and many established supply chains have indeed collapsed ; industrial and consumer markets have changed and this continues to have an impact until now, but again everything is constantly changing and now it is no longer clear what is happening in global trade due to the large number restrictions. sanctions that are imposed by individual countries against others, because - you understand that not only belarus, under the aim of economic sanctions, they act

against many, many countries, and this introduces a serious distorting effect on world trade and, accordingly, on the world economic system , on its effectiveness, that is, we are losing real... money due to the fact that individual countries impose sanctions against other countries, everyone suffers, no one gains, well, someone probably wins there are some countries that consider themselves hegemons, probably, after all, this is a big misconception about the fact that these countries received some additional economic effects when sanctions were introduced for reasons of protectionism, we are not talking about sanctions.

here are global trade institutions, like the wto and many others, because in fact, these mechanisms do not work in practice, they do not work, why does china reproach its global partners for unilateralism, because all these mechanisms do not work, they work only for a limited circle countries that’s right, all established traditions and agreements in international trade have practically been violated, and this is a big threat to the entire world market, again , i repeat, this does not apply only to belarus, introducing any restrictions on free trade in goods, protecting their markets politically or economically , countries that do this, they will sooner or later. consequences of these measures, we have 161 countries on our list of trading partners today, that

is, us. a real participant in the global world trade, the world and the global economy, with our services and goods we go to 161 countries of the world, so everything that happens in these countries, one way or another, affects our capabilities and the efficiency of our trade, well, what strategic priorities should we lay the foundation for a progressive foreign trade policy that would take into account all the challenges and threats that we just talked about, the same economic tasks that the head of state sets for us, which we are obliged to solve, yeah, we must, and we discussed it v within the framework of our programs, we must repeatedly be technologically independent, technological sovereignty, this is also one of the factors for the safe export of our products, when we are not dependent on the whole

chain of suppliers. we must engage in import substitution in order to balance our economy, and no matter how the external market behaves, we will always be able to produce goods for our own consumption and not rely on export, that is, by reducing the need for imports, we thereby increase the value this export, because it generates large foreign exchange earnings that we can use, well, for other needs than to finance imports, right? a simple example is the reduction in dependence on external energy resources, the construction of a nuclear power plant, and with this one decision to build a nuclear power plant, we replaced almost a quarter of the total volume of gas in the balance of consumed energy resources in the balance of the cost of gas, this is a huge reduction in dependence on imports. dependencies in

this sector, this is a big saving for our trade and for our balance of payments, on the other hand, we are working to carry out import substitution, look, in mechanical engineering, we were very dependent on suppliers who were scattered around the world, in the european union, we purchased goods that completed our equipment in china, even in the usa. now, due to certain reasons, non-economic, so to speak, these chains have been destroyed, this is a big, big blow for our exports, but we have effectively and quickly, somewhere, begun to produce such goods on our own, in in most cases this happened, and the world is big, we have found alternatives to these suppliers who do not lose in -

said maxim leonidovich and for good reason, we must conquer new markets, increasing exports is the task of our embassies abroad, these are the areas in which diplomats in they place emphasis on their work, much, of course, depends on the specifics of a particular country, let's listen, economic ties between. enterprises and italian enterprises go back a decade, italian equipment is used in many belarusian enterprises of belolekhprom, beloyospim and so on and so forth, belarusian products , for example, bmz, should have been supplied to the italian market last year in the amount of half a billion, the corresponding contracts were signed, if not for... the policy

of the european union, it would have and it was, many, yes, the majority of italian enterprises continue to work with belarus, despite the difficulties with logistics, despite the difficulties with payments, they continue to work with us. rabe oil, both for the republic of belarus and for china, belarusian rapeseed oil, this is no longer a new product, the fact that new buyers have arrived, new countries, regions, sister cities, our country, this is a step forward, this is the deep work of our regulators, our enterprises, of course, this is the work, as you said, of diplomacy , this is a comprehensive work that leads to the fact that we are increasing new types of goods for the chinese market, which are successfully sold there, rapeseed oil today is in the top products, goods that today give us export revenue, these are those areas that are not affected today

restrictions from... european partners, this is primarily the agricultural sector and food production, this is pharmaceuticals, and the it sector, for example, as a new direction, is also quite promising and is of mutual interest on both sides, hungary managed to resolve the issue with the continuation of the development of their nuclear power plant, they were able to sabotage this process, yes , but they were able to come to an agreement with the european commission, a decision has actually already been made, this means that opportunities are opening up for interaction in this sector, our specialists who, of course, have serious qualifications in the construction of this facility and its operation are already in demand by our hungarian partners. well, of course, our representative office must work on solving these problems, and not there on the front line, which they say knows better. andrey mikhailovich,

please tell me, well, we talked about the fact that government support for exports is extremely important. tell me, what is the export support system in our country? we have all the institutions created. in the country is the development institute of the development bank, this is such a classic world, let's say, institute that helps solve export problems, this is the belarusian chamber of commerce and industry, this is also in every country, in fact, which is engaged, so to speak, in supporting exports, a center for marketing and price conditions , there has recently been such an institution, an agency for external conical activities, so all these institutions are... we have two support instruments, we can divide them into two categories, these are financial and non-financial, if we speak about financial instruments, in 10 months we see that exports with the help of financial instruments are more than a billion

dollars, if we talk about how this instrument was used, but of course what is more relevant today is the use of non-financial instruments, here of course we have had a certain transformation, due to... the fact that time dictates its conditions , new tools have appeared, for example, an agency for foreign economic activity, in addition to some traditional services, market research, tips, where they can supply, they are engaged in the so-called support of export contracts, building logistics routes, and what is not the most important, building financial schemes, calculations, because they are difficult now, and roman pavlovich, but if you focus specifically on financial incentive measures exports, tell me what measures are being applied in our country, how effective they are from your point of view, these are the conditions that we

have repeatedly mentioned today, call them sanctions, restrictions, and so on, like i wouldn’t be criticized now for the thought that i’ll say, but they turned out to be not so terrible, because when you directly touch some business process from the point of view... in terms of its financial support, namely the export process, you understand that they were and have always existed, just in different forms and were not always called sanctions, if there is any prohibitive import duty on a product, if it exists, you mean the protectionist measures that were used there, of course, yes, yes, they are absent, correspondent connections are reliable, there is no agreement on currency, there is no reliable partner who has firm confidence that he will return the proceeds and pay for the goods, all these are measures that suppress foreign trade, they have always existed , we have always been looking for ways to support exports to these difficult conditions, therefore , a classic financial instrument, it has always worked, it worked this year for about one and a

half billion dollars, funds were allocated to support this export through decree 534, and we assess its effectiveness as very high, one ruble of budget support... generates about 30 rubles of export revenue, in the twenty -second-twenty years we realized that this was not enough and this mechanism subjected itself to significant adjustments, firstly , in addition to manufacturers, it became possible to support trading companies, trading companies that are professionally engaged in trade, not production, trade in belarusian goods, these companies received the opportunity for such financing, and flexible rates appeared, new currencies for issuing loans appeared. and to finance such transactions, if traditional currencies turned out to be toxic and incapable of financing, even a new form of anti-banking incentives even appeared, when a number of

projects can be financed without collateral, if the enterprise does not have collateral , if there is only insurance issued state-owned enterprises, in the absence of proper collateral, such projects can be financed, this is what done. yeah, realizing that this is not enough , we need to go further, the development bank initiated a number of adjustments to the current legislation to introduce additional incentives, firstly... the rate at which such exports will be financed, if you are today this is 2/3 of the refinancing rate , that is, the funds are 30% cheaper, then we assume that we will reduce it by another 1/3, that is , export-oriented enterprises that create a product needed by the state and generate foreign exchange earnings will receive money at 30% of them cost, that is, in essence, it is an instrument for supporting exports of the development bank, that’s right, it is a state-owned one.

a tool that is available to almost all banks, but since the development bank is an institution, well, i would say, something in the middle between the ministry of economy and the ministry of finance, only focused on commercial projects from tools, then up to 90% of this tool is used through the development channel , the second very important direction, which we also see today, would significantly intensify exports, this investment financing. activities, that’s what exports to investments have to do with it, yes, we see that issuing export loans to create investment activities externally, yes, this is also one of the ways to enter the market by financing projects, they can be called differently, assembly production, production, which allow you to adapt the product to the target market, which allows you to minimize the impact of non-target methods or other restrictive methods, the enterprise is ready. engage in this activity, and financial

support, too, we assume will be introduced in such areas, but this is the first part, that is, what we said about money, indeed, with the change in conditions , the principles of work for enterprises, and the usual supply channels, the usual forms of payment, the usual logistics routes have radically changed , habitual interaction with partners, required a new analysis, the head of state has repeatedly said that most of the problems are within us, whether we are capable. change your idea of ​​what export is not the transfer of goods across the border, that export is not even production, export is sale. how deep are we willing to go into sales channels, as close to the target market as possible? are we ready to reach the final consumer in the destination country, understanding his preferences, and not giving margin, to the first buyer who is in the territory of the state that cooperates with us, therefore not... financial support that helps enterprises enter the market,

starting from some registration moments, ending with an understanding of processes, sometimes even cultural aspects and forms of negotiations that are needed for them to be completed successfully, all this also requires a deep sense. roman pavlovich , do i understand correctly that despite the fact that the world is transforming, needs and features are being transformed, new ones are being formed in the sales markets, and new needs are emerging for our exporters. but despite all this , the system of financial support for exports and exporters in our country is generally effective, it is not only effective, it is shows dynamics every year, this dynamics is confirmed by the figures i said above, but we do not stop at this support, if you look at the targets of the head of state, then we can talk about a future support system, what can we talk about? president, we must

pay attention to logistics, given that we are going to distant countries, yeah, we must think about our own fleet, our own port infrastructure, trade missions, build a transport system to the ports, they are now being worked out in cooperation with the russian federation. and railway logistics routes to port infrastructure and to the end consumer. we work across china, work at ports, and expand capacity in these directions. the same thing with the port infrastructure, we can go all over the world, look for opportunities where we will be present in the ports with our belarusian goods. the merchant fleet is also one of the tasks that... sooner or later the country will decide so as not to

depend on carriers who dictate its conditions, another important direction in which the state will work, supporting belarusian enterprises, is again the commodity distribution network, yes, interaction with our diplomatic missions in countries in order to help, organize these sales points, points of delivery of goods to the final consumers, now it is necessary, and this is very important, for banks to accompany these foreign trade contracts so that the payment system begins to work differently. and look, the president constantly sets tasks for with his colleagues around the world, on the creation of new payment instruments, gives instructions

to the central bank on how a new one is being formed. settlement payment system in the world, the formation of the brix currency is now on the agenda, a change in the yuan market share in world trade. the world is changing, we must keep up with these changes, and this is a task for government agencies, for enterprises, how timely i... to change global conditions, how new ones should be implemented in the economic system, in the state support system tools so that they meet modern market requirements, this seems to me to be very important; it must be stated that

the country’s export successes are largely determined by the foreign trade victories of specific producers; a good example is belarusian food. it is exported to more than 100 countries around the world and there is every reason to believe that this year the supply of our food products to the foreign market will exceed $8 billion; this requires a competitive product, initiative and active actions, about successful examples of conquering foreign markets, a tasteful report from alexey kondratenko, please, about eight titles were released over the past year. lines, we continue to move forward, we have released a german line, now there is intensive technological work on the swedish line of products, import substitution for gourmets is only one of the strategic

tasks in the production of the molodeshchinsky meat processing plant, an enterprise with a rich history, next year it will be 85, it works according to the model from field to counter, in it the structure has its own farmland, pig farms, and food market. therefore, by the way, here we are completely confident in the high quality of raw materials, this allows us to compete not only within the country, but in foreign markets. the share of exports in our production volume is approximately 50%. and the first places are certainly shared today by china and the russian federation. we also supply the products we produce to uzbekistan, kazakhstan, armenia, georgia, there are a number of projects that we want to test ours today an enterprise, say cuba, korea, is creative

and appetizing in producing its products; a pasta production workshop is also suitable . borisov bakery plant, an enterprise also with a long history, one might say, is a professor in pasta production. horns , vermicelli, noodles and of course, spaghetti, dozens of types of products here in borisov are certainly produced from durum wheat, which, by the way, the borisov land itself is rich in. the workshop produces 100 tons of pasta per day, the product is socially significant, stable demand for it in the domestic market to taste our pasta. consumers from different countries. our company is a successful exporter of pasta products, and we are increasing volumes. among others, these are moldova, the countries of the european union, uh, the countries of the southern caucasus, relations and supplies to china are developing, in the future, developing partnerships with organizations from

south korea. our products are in demand and undoubtedly, the launch of a new line will allow us to increase our export potential. by the way, this new line at the borisov plant bakery products are now being installed by the end of the year, the equipment will please you with the new quality of products, because it has many advantages. the line for the production of short-cut pasta 100 kg is equipped with a vacuum mixer, which allows for better preparation of dough for the production of pasta; the line contains a tamper with blast cooling of pasta. products, they don’t get overcooked and don’t swell, well, we’ll taste the new pasta from borisov at the beginning of the next one. years, maybe even how main course, especially since there is a special occasion: 2024 has been declared the year of quality.

it’s always nice to see positive examples, because, in fact, they form the foreign trade balance that we are proud of. colleagues, respected experts, tell me, these are the promising areas of our export specialization. countries need to be developed, in your opinion, and how can we ensure an increase in the share of added value in the export price. i think from our conversation, tv viewers now understand that for in order to effectively export goods, we must increase export volumes without increasing import volumes. and this, of course, is the main goal, so that we... export more goods with high added value, the directions here are clearly defined, first of all

, microelectronics, this is our traditional mechanical engineering, machine tool industry, that is, these are high-tech goods and ensure independence from imports and the technological sovereignty of our country. another promising direction is a highly competitive market, mainly... now dominated by countries, the so-called developed countries, the eu countries and the usa, this is the market of biological products, china is beginning to break through there, and pharmaceutical products, well, we must not forget about our traditional products - these are goods, which are produced from local raw materials, we have carried out quite a deep modernization in our wood processing, but we need to go further, increase the depth of wood processing, we need to move in this direction,

for me, of course, in this case, speaking about in those areas that are promising, i fully support maxim leonidovich, but nevertheless , today 64% of industrial production is exported, so every product that our enterprise produces today is a priority for him specifically, and today stands behind... the task is to expand markets, enter new ones and engage in effective import substitution, which will allow even the same components for our mechanical engineering, we know that enterprises have left the russian federation that produced components, that is, today these developments are underway, the same can be said about food and about the same high added value in food production, that is, do not just sell meat, but sell the finished product, which today is highly valued internationally... market, or like with the same powdered milk, yes , which is absolutely true, or like the same candies that the president spoke about with powdered

milk, so today it is important not only promising directions, but also the implementation of investment strategic projects, for in order to develop this and build a new enterprise, roman pavlovich, do you think this is a promising direction of export specialization, maybe not everything was announced, maybe you see something else, i repeat the thought, it is through: important, so i would like still, focus on it: the margin is not in production, today the margin is in sales, and there is one example of such amazing transactions, when the manufacturer earned 10-12 13% of his profit on an export deal, and the one who brought the product to the final consumer, but had profitability at times, simply at times , even an order of magnitude higher, this is what happens, and when i asked how it happened, well, how are you, he says, i ’ve been carrying this for 2 years... just to make money there 60, 70, 80, 100%, he says: i spent 2 years training the end consumer, so you need to change

the philosophy, you need to understand that export is not a customs declaration, it is not a statistical declaration when changing residence, that is, you approach modern methods of promotion yes products on the external market, on external markets, that you must know the final buyer of the product and work with him, andrei mikhailovich, but i can’t help but ask you, as a well-known methodologist on complex macroeconomic issues, how can we increase the level, the share of added value in the value of exports? i agree with my colleagues that of course we need the first word , the key is marketing, why is this key, it’s so structurally that we have a manufacturing enterprise, and now , of course, large enterprises need to say the word marketing production, to rebuild, because not... not only do you need to release a sought-after product , you also need to sell it, support it, that’s how colleagues said, essentially, like in

marketing theory, there’s a sales funnel and so on, it doesn’t matter, just over the fence you know... in this regard , i absolutely think that we are not fully using such a good tool as e-commerce, for example, when we talk about the fact that already, according to world experts, in the twenty-fifth year, the share of sales of consumer goods will reach 50% by email. in electronic form is called, so here, unfortunately, we look at it in such a way that large enterprises are not present on the world’s electronic trading platforms, so here, of course, the potential is huge, well, you need to enter, you need to walk, of course, either not on your own or with someone’s help, and so on, so that’s all , modern promotion tools, of course you need to use it, well, the second part, which

we also talked about in the first part of the program, is... it’s not easy to engage in active diversification and even despite the fact that it can being in the current moment is not profitable, enterprises often say now, why should i go to africa, for example, if i feel good in russia, my margins are high there, and so on, well, we see everything, especially if it’s on market-driven goods, today it’s one price or one, same conditions , tomorrow everything, the market is lost, so of course, all the eggs are in one basket, the traditional phrase, it is present here, so no sport. and the head of state, absolutely, and the government, next year we are setting such an ambitious task for ourselves, in fact, increase threefold, for example, in the african market, yes, maybe some enterprises are somewhat unprepared, but we must do this, otherwise, then we will not have diversification, so for us , we, promising markets, they have been identified, we

we must move in this regard, dear experts, how do you see the export potential of our country in the future and what we all need to do for this, maxim leonidovich. i imagine the work of our economy in supplying goods for export as a single complex of coordinated actions of all participants in this process. this is the so-called belarus corporation. transnational, let it be a transnational corporation belarus, in which government agencies help enterprises sell products to foreign markets, help produce these products, without seeking personal interest in this. science is doing everything to ensure that this product is competitive and in line with all

world trends, and in some cases even ahead of its time. so that the financial sector offers simple, understandable and accessible forms financing export production, insurance, removed some of the risks from enterprises , government agencies, the foreign economic sector of our country, helped promote these products to the market, enterprises produced efficiently, reduced costs, considered products to be an important task and a priority, come to new markets, create the necessary infrastructure for this, so that this entire system works as an export corporation belarus. the export potential of belarus is, of course, first of all, our subjects management, so i want to wish them to work aggressively and

promote their products to foreign markets, engage in effective import substitution and do everything so that our slogan made in belarus always answers that it is of high quality, it is always great taste and it is accessibility, new markets, new geography, new quality, this is the norm for an exporter, so it should always be like this, so then we would use our full potential. there are words in the bible that the success of building a house is achieved when each of housebuilders turns out to be correct, the one who laid the foundation for success will be when every evasion worked conscientiously in his area of ​​​​responsibility, because export is not a discrete process, it is not a point moment that arises at the stage, as i say, of crossing the border or transferring funds, this is from the idea to support and final gratitude to the buyer, feedback from

the manufacturer about some kind of incentive, additional support that there is not even a non-trade, not financial contact, we are we see from cooperation with new markets, with new countries with which contact begins, sometimes even leaving him with a good impression and a desire to re-contact, so we ourselves need to expand the perception of exports to boundaries that go beyond the classic format of interaction: sales, transfers. dear experts, thank you for your opinion, thank you for coming to our beltelerokia 9 studio, finding such an opportunity in your busy schedule, thanking our guests, saying goodbye to you, making the most of your opportunities the good of our country and may the economic environment be favorable for you, goodbye.

today we see how unnatural the prism of the presentation, primarily by the western media, of those events that concern russia, belarus, and here it is time to talk about the abuse of freedom of speech, but for the west we are not only competitors, it is a tidbit that they are always coveting, system. including the republic of belarus, can afford to have a station in antarctica and begin conducting long-distance scientific inland expeditions. our president was squeezed out of european politics, brazenly, cynically, instead of inviting them, organizing the same conference, and what are you afraid of? project, don’t be silent, don’t miss new episodes on the belarus 24 tv channel. if only we were with you.
