pickets to collect signatures are actively held on city streets. now the election campaign is in such an active phase of nominating candidates for deputies. subjects that have the right to nominate are parties, their organizational structures, labor collectives hold congresses, meetings, conferences to nominate their representatives as candidates. belarusians are actively involved in the electoral campaign to select those who will continue the course. development is taken with full responsibility, this in turn creates serious competition among future candidates for deputies. analysts from major corporations have prepared their forecasts of economic and geopolitical threats for 2024. belarus, as a state with an open economy in the center of europe, can also feel. ourselves the consequences of certain

trends, while western politicians are preoccupied with solving problems overseas, and not in their own countries, we clearly follow the chosen path, strengthen ties in the union state, expand cooperation in the distant arc, and set serious goals for the year of quality. our author’s column “site” is about what the world and belarus are entering the new year with. there is no money, but you hold on, this is roughly what analysts of the largest financial institutions mean in their scenarios for 2024. this is how the organization economic cooperation and development worsened the annual forecast for the dynamics of the global economy. preliminarily, its growth will slow down from the previously planned almost 3% to 2.7%. the figure is lower than the imf previously calculated. general secretary. osrmat corman

explains it this way: the global economy continues to face problems of both low growth and increased inflation. an interesting fact: for belarus, the imf, on the contrary, has revised the scenario to a positive one: the growth of our economy, the fund’s specialists expect, will be at 1.3%. this is lower than approved by decree president of belarus, but one should not have expected anything else from imf experts. meanwhile, we have set ourselves a different standard: gdp growth is projected to be 3.8%. percent due to large-scale investment and production programs, sales of belarusian products to foreign markets and expansion of domestic demand. the international analytical organization , part of the economist group , highlights the following in a series of global horror stories: a protracted recession, tightening monetary policy, high inflation in a number of regions, and there are also world trade wars, natural disasters and the growth of industrialization. a number of trends are associated with a series of elections on the planet: electoral... campaigns will take place in countries

where a total of over 4 billion people live, which is more than half of the planet's population. voters in the united states and beyond have already stocked up on popcorn, awaiting the outcome of the confrontation between biden and... trump: the outcome of this race also depends on the states’ relations with china, and this is already a story about world architecture. our country is also preparing for the elections with calm confidence. bye the west is profiting from military conflicts, including those right next door to us; we are following our long- chosen right path. we rely on ourselves and our strengths, choose reliable partners, and rely on quality. it’s no coincidence that 2024 will be marked by quality, just like 2010 once was. belarus is different today. we are strengthening cooperation in the union state. the final figures have not yet been announced, but economists have no doubt: 2023 will again be a record year for the level of trade turnover between belarus and russia. at least 55 billion are expected in the piggy bank dollars. we are confidently increasing the share of localization

in joint production and actively developing import substitution. we strengthen relationships with partners in the distant arc. recent landmark visits of alexander lukashenko to the united arab emirates. china, on the african continent, confirmed that belarus is a reliable partner with whom they want to work, and if the west, which is so used to counting money, relies on sanctions, then these are its problems, the west, not ours. global scenarios drawn by overseas analysts, to some may seem scary and gloomy, but we believe that for belarus 2024 will be just as calm and stable, although this largely depends on each of us, on daily choices, on the impact in the workplace.

blockade, the nezalezhnaya economy suffered at least a billion dollars in losses and continues to generate them every day. protests by polish truckers demanding the abolition of european benefits for their ukrainian colleagues continue. on december 26, they tightened the blockade. waiting time for truck drivers when leaving from poland increased to 30 days more. almost 400 trucks are waiting in queues. several hundred more trucks are located on the borders with slovakia, romania and hungary. norway has decided to change its military export legislation, which has been in effect for decades . the government of the country allowed the direct sale of weapons to defense products in the warring country, in this case ukraine. the reason was pressure from the united states to support

the kiev regime. previously, however, norway carried out military supplies to kiev, however did this through the nato format, including through the so-called ramstein, which is supervised by washington. now this formality is a thing of the past. the white house announced the last tranche of assistance to ukraine, but we are only talking about 2023. this year, washington will allocate new amounts to transfer them to kiev. russian expert konstantin shadrov shared this opinion with our channel. according to him , despite the budget crisis in the united states, the states will continue to pump ukraine with weapons, forcing their vassals to be sent to independent ammunition. the united states announced the latest package of military assistance to ukraine, this is only from the point of view of the calendar, but in the future some kind of military assistance will naturally continue. i have two arguments here: first, that the republicans, who

oppose the policies of the democrats, are not completely against providing assistance to the kiev regime, they only want to change priorities, that is, so that more money remains. countries and this money was directed to some internal problems of the united states itself, the second point is that the united states, even now in conditions of a budget crisis, has ample room for maneuver, they use it, they force their renegades to supply weapons to the kiev regime, this is how it is now happening with japan, for example, which is forced send additional charges of anti-aircraft missiles to the patriot complexes to the kiev regime. and the same thing was recently done with south korea, which has large reserves of 155mm shells, they were also sent to ukraine, so for now let’s talk about there is absolutely no reason to stop military assistance. in japan, the number

of victims of a powerful earthquake is growing, 48 people have already died, more than fifty were injured. almost 100,000 japanese spent last night in evacuation centers. an earthquake of magnitude 7.6 led to severe destruction and fire in the city of vadim. a seven-story building fell there. a strong fire occurred in the central region, engulfing more than two hundred buildings. there may be people under the rubble; railway transport has been disrupted in the affected region. message, there are power outages. in total, 155 earthquakes of varying strength occurred in japan over the past 24 hours. the shock is expected to last until the end of the week. forecasters predict a sharp cold snap on the first days of january. in the near future , thermometers outside the window will show up to -16. today an orange level of danger has been declared in belarus due to heavy snow.

due to the sudden change in weather conditions, the state traffic inspectorate recommends that motorists properly prepare their vehicles for cold weather. particular attention should be paid cars with a diesel engine. it is worth increasing the distance and choosing the safest speed in the current conditions . you should also avoid sudden maneuvers and braking, especially near pedestrian crossings at curved roads. the our children campaign continues to delight more and more adult children. the buinevich family from the agricultural town of cherni, brest region, which is raising seven children, also became recipients of the new year's marathon. most of them are not relatives, but are noted only by blood. parents, for example, seven-year-old philip is already 3 i’ve been reading books for years, now i play the saxophone and
