in the forest of uranishny, the sun,

quietly, so breathlessly, at least not from pain, this court that the alignments brought the rest of the millevich. belarusian-russian integration is the number one topic this week of negotiations in minsk at the highest level, as well as in a wide format with the participation of the governments of the two countries. key in the union of the two most and the main focus is on the economy. she is the guarantor of stability and shortcomings, special attention, of course, to operational projects and import substitution in minsk, agreed no duplicate production facilities

, it is easier to get out of the sanctions pressure together, supporting each other with conflicting details, thus we saved industrial production and one conveyor did not stop in russia , well, but time has shown that the common union market is not crowded, even the former competitor of maz and kamaz, gomselmash and rostselmash, and such through industrial cooperation. we are ready to go on other production. today we can unambiguously state together. we were able not only to survive, but also to find opportunities for our development. at the same time, unexpectedly for everyone, and above all those who created difficulties for us, in 22 years toyota will establish the foundation with cautious optimism for the time being that we are coping and quite well with economic challenges , unexpectedly for ourselves, we are revealing our huge potential, which is guilty times.

they simply did not see or believe in him, but we need the speed of making and implementing decisions. time is now more important than money. this is the essence of our talks today between the presidents of belarus and russia by the governments of the two countries. there is a package of specific instructions, in particular, on the protection of the common economic space of the union state, what our cabins offer and what topics are the most relevant today in negotiations with russian colleagues. today , prime minister roman golovchenko is the number one question. hello, following the results of the negotiations in minsk, when the heads of states and in latitude. look for governments the governments of the two countries have been given a package of instructions. you even said that about a dozen of these instructions have already begun work. well, of course it started. we act quickly, always the first deputy prime minister. a-a was in moscow

holding negotiations with his russian colleague. e. well, actually, er, the instructions were announced during the meeting, which took place at the level of heads of state. uh, mostly the belarusian side. e, raised questions that need to be addressed. uh, current year and next year and denoted e, mechanisms or tools for their solution e to achieve the stated goals, that is, the chairs must be signed between a government agreement, or to make some kind of separate decision, or e. i mean at the level of the government of the history of the heads of state. therefore, here is such a work schedule. uh, the fulfillment of these tasks was drawn up, uh, the topics were determined and clarified again, the responsible persons were identified from both sides ah, the deadlines, and what documents are planned to be released, you said that after negotiations, that now is the time strategic decisions have come, our opinion, after all, there are some decisions, while the existing

mechanisms are not enough to move forward and what decisions you would like them to make, well, maybe strategic is too big a word, because, in principle, everything strategic decisions. yes , the guidelines have been determined, some of them are enshrined in allied programs. i probably had more under the strategic method those issues that we had not paid attention to before or paid less attention due to the fact that the situation was. well, normal in the world. eh, now we are forced to face a new paradigm of work, so we need to make decisions about how the economy of the union state will function? under these conditions, we proceed from the following formula, that two independent countries, two sovereign economies and a single economic space, therefore, now it is time to talk about, uh, which, probably, was simply before, either the hands did not reach, or by force, well, again, uh, some kind of protectionist views. eh,

both sides. we don't talk too much about it thought, but now we perceive it with colleagues absolutely openly perceive it , the market of belarus of russia or the economy of belarus of russia as the economy of a union state, respectively, we must develop synchronous actions so that, for example, western manufacturers leave our market perfectly, and they we were released to the place, but we need to do everything to ensure that this place of employment does not just say that it is good. we must accept. e with a basket action so that we can occupy this market. a no one else or anyone else. because we still remain an integrated world economy, so the holy place is never empty . someone left, someone came. we ca n’t build fences, which means we can’t carry anything there , and so on. we must ensure that our products from russia, belarus, will be in demand on our own market, and it will be competitive with respect to the same products from other friendly countries, belarus and russia agreed to implement more than a

dozen import-substituting projects, the list is open now, we are talking about increasing up to two dozen. majority. of these , a loan agreement for 105 billion russian rubles is related to mechanical engineering and microelectronics. so belaz will launch rings, rolling production. orshe amkodor will master new types of industrial machinery, and biloma will work on highly intelligent systems. that is the main focus. i, of course, are doing industrial cooperation say industrial this operation. this, of course, is technological sovereignty. a lot has been done, of course. it's defined import projects combining the loan amount of 105 billion russian rubles. for today, this is enough, or some other solutions are needed in order to move more, maybe intensively towards this technological sorrinity. well, actually, this is, uh, only a part, probably, of the work that is being done, because there were some under this loan. eh, those projects that clearly have been formed. uh, well, the integration component, that

is, somewhere the consumers of these products are, uh, russian enterprises, uh, potential, or where we see significant volume. uh, the market. or the market share we can take. uh, through the development of new products. that is, it is precisely focused on this, but beyond that. there are also, uh, well, a lot of other projects and programs. we are constantly working on import substitution, the introduction of mask developments that are aimed at import substitution, in addition to these projects. we have an internal program. this is a substitution. uh, the results of the work on it literally next week will be considered at a meeting of the presidium of the council of ministers, uh, well, at least 59 such projects are being implemented now, this is a large layer of work. we uh, probably, absolutely this is our omission that we did not pay much attention to the development of microelectronics, one of the uh, most high-tech industries. although they had

a very good backlog. yes, we didn't fall. we didn't fall off. uh, we didn’t close, that is, enterprises, microelectronics, continued to work, but somewhere we missed a little. uh, let's say the technological leap that has taken place, and in the west in this area and now, well, they are forced to act. this is e and exactly in the first place. for this, an appropriate intergovernmental agreement has been concluded with the russian federation for cooperation in the field of microelectronics. now, by the end of the year, a strategy for the development of the microelectronic industry of the republic of belarus should be ready. again, within the framework of integration e-e programs that are financed at the expense of e-funds from the russian federation, there are two very powerful development projects , both directly on the integral, as a manufacturer of microelectronic components, and the planar, which produce equipment for e-production. e, integrated circuits and other

microelectronics products. here you go. e. this is probably very important, if we talk about allied import-substituting operational projects, then, of course, everyone is probably worried when even this joint product is received, this joint product is still next year, or more time is needed. uh, absolutely different speed projects. uh, depends on the difficulty. this means that a schedule for its implementation has been formed for each of them; it has been agreed upon by the two parties by the ministry industry of belarus by the ministry of industry and trade of the russian federation, uh, in principle, the scheme there is classical. uh, the first part is technical re-equipment or the purchase of additional equipment, or the modernization of existing lines, and the second is the transition to production. e products, there are pilot batches of pilot batches. and then the transition to serial production, so it is very important that we, in principle, agreed with the russian federation for what in order to fix consumers on whom it is oriented and they knew in what terms and what products. in what quantity

will be intended for them, based on, well, business plans and based on the plan of project implementation schedules, of course, the main volume of output will already go in 2024. next year is like this, mostly production. well, according to the same gonselmash, let’s say the minsk bearing plant, the first production will be next year, therefore, here we ourselves are interested in doing this as quickly as possible, because, well, it's still credit money. that is why we must ensure payback and a quick and speedy access to the required mode of production at the end of the year, the trade turnover between belarus and russia can break the historical record and exceed the bar of $50 billion in 10 months, the volume of mutual trade has developed at the level of $36.5 billion. 18 of them are our exports, while for belarus there has been a sharp reduction in the negative balance trade with russia in recent years show that the trade turnover of the belarusian

racist grows with such family steps, if in the twenty-first year plus 30%, plus 10 is expected in this figure and we are going to 50 billion. market? only oversaturated with belarusian proposals. no , it's not over-saturated, uh, really digital this year. uh, very impressive uh uh for ten months. uh, exports to the russian federation of 18 billion dollars is much more than in all previous years, well, the average. i will give 12-13 billion of our exports for the previous years, now we have 18 in 10 months, and i think that i hope that by the end of the year we will have an amount of about 22-23 billion. this is a very significant amount. and we added uh, according to the results of ten months, almost 5 billion uh, now the pace is even higher, because, well, there are a

lot of traditional ones at the end of the year, the machine is surrounded we deliver to russian federation of china's third export to the russian federation well, you understand the scale of the economy. yes, and the scale of exports of these countries, so, uh, our share in russian imports is growing. e in almost every way. eh, and this is very good, because, of course, if we didn’t have something to offer, then we wouldn’t be able to use it, and the phenomenon that the export of belarusian agricultural products has crept up to 8 billion is also in many ways. it is a great merit that we were able to reorient it to the russian markets. well, basically it was. well, such a key task for the government. uh, precisely the tactical maneuver of a quick transfer. e of our goods. well, i say it again, it took effort. it required. eh, you did n’t pay attention to the agreements. what a series of visits meant, uh, at all levels, yes, between russia

and belarus at the level of the head of the regions. by the way, we have already fulfilled our export plans in 70 regions of russia, and in my opinion , export in 14 regions of russia. more than 100 million dollars, but of course, there is potential. especially given the fact that the russian economy, well, shows enough, uh, positive pace. e growth and successfully cope with sanctions, like the republic of belarus, that is, we are successfully coping together, so there are enough financial resources. uh, the russian economy is in a stable state. e with macroeconomic stability. e secured, so i think we have every reason to next year. a. well, at least do no worse than this one you paid attention to the negotiations at the regional level. you there were also several visits of workers to the governors of russia communicated with some territories of the regions. here is the effectiveness of these negotiations at the regional level. how

do you rate? after these negotiations , work began, somewhere we opened production. yes, somewhere there were some plans to open, maybe a joint production. and next year there will also be an active schedule. you know, the results are very high, and it was not in vain that at one time the president relied on just such a format, uh, a balanced development of relations with federal authorities and with the regions of russia, of course, each governor is primarily interested in the e-economic development of his region, and we belarus provides appropriate opportunities for this proposal with the regions. we decide specific things. you named them yourself. this means that this is the opening of new, for example, dealerships. uh, after-sales service specific equipment supplies. uh, utilities , like a transportation company. these are individual programs, which are available in certain regions for subsidies, purchase of equipment. well here in particular extremely visit. e, our e, was mine

along with you. by the way, i was in the krasnodar territory. eh, and there we absolutely reached during the visit. the head of the region agreed that regional subsidy programs for belarusian equipment e will also apply to other products, that is, to tractors. they are already there, they have shown themselves well. this means that equipment is actively in demand among farmers due to cheaper, for example, credit resources at the expense of the local budget. so that the same can be multiplied for both passenger and freight vehicles. a good result, the decision was made, it is being implemented, therefore, the emphasis is on the development of cooperation with the regions. i think we fully justify all these increases in our volumes of deliveries for all types of equipment. this is also a consequence. and this is how you work with e-business

in the region, you will have new addresses next year in russian. well, in fact, the invitation is many. and for us and, uh, we are waiting for many leaders of the russian regions. eh, i set myself such a task, at least once a month, uh, visit one of the regions, and the russian federation and in addition to other international trips, because, well, the necessary dynamics are needed. well, to be honest, this mobilizes, including officials, that is, they begin to look more actively at the fulfillment of previously achieved ones. as a matter of fact, control arrangements strengthen over this, therefore the ministry of foreign affairs. here, based on this setup. eh, that's what they plan. well, well, we never have a problem with that, because all of our, uh, colleagues the russians are very hospitable and, uh, we never wait there, for a long time we agreed on some kind of agreement up to the fact that they picked up the phone and phoned. we just need to discuss, so we just decide, or they will come here. eh,

delegation, or we'll go, that's why everything is so dynamic here. we have a year that promises to be active. well, the least active person of the month we previously made 95.3%, maintaining this level was largely facilitated by the stable operation of the industrial complex , and agriculture also makes a significant positive contribution. besides, recovery is also observed in construction due to the fulfillment of the annual target for housing, as well as in transport. about the allied vector , of course, it is important that the operation gives our enterprises this year. how do you rate the performance of the economy because, well, there is actually a week left until the end of 2022 . let's say that it is important to note that it was possible to do this. i think i won't reveal a big secret. e, when i say that this year was difficult e, we objectively and adequately

assessed the threats with which we collided, er, and, of course, there were many challenges. e. well, you know what kind of forecasts they gave us. uh, here's a total collapse, then twenty percent and so on. well, this e had its own logic and its own reason, because in essence. if you evaluate here, well, there are models that evaluate how sanctions affect certain countries. i think that those who , uh, came up with this operation, they relied again on these calculations. therefore, if the numbers were taken, not from the ceiling, and in fact, we also have our own calculations carried out and knew that $ 21 billion is the part of the gdp that was threatened, and this is actually the third of our gross domestic product, so, of course, this year the main task was. eh, in front of us. it was the presidents who put it that way, that is, it was necessary to work so

that the country did not notice the sanctions. well , it turned out or not, probably not for us to evaluate. uh, although uh, you can probably say that u worked out a lot. yes, we have u, so to speak, nominal or will be u, nominal reduction. uh, internal shaft product. e, well, probably about 96% e, we will work a little lower than e in the russian federation, but we must keep in mind the following , after all, the russian federation in another, here, but the russian federation has a huge domestic market, and due to which it can balance, so to speak, not before delivery to the foreign market. well, solid resources reserves and so on. well, the belarusian economy is probably already about this. uh, everyone knows the open economy, but i'll just give you, uh, such the figures announced by the world bank are official information, which means that if in 2000 in

the nineteenth year, the share of gdp exports in belarus was 61%, then in 2021 it is already 67%. that is, well, imagine the 67% share of gdp exports - this is the highest share among all. well, developed and developing countries and this figure. well , it should also sound. here is the data of the world bank and if in general the european union has 50%, and we have 67, and such developed countries of the european union as germany have less than 50%, 47, and the united states of america have two-and-a-half means that russia has 30 -something there; china has less and less than fifty percent. therefore, 67%, uh, is very vulnerable from the point of view of external shocks, namely external shocks, and it happened, so this is what, probably, we managed to level out, we managed to transfer supplies. after all, it was not just taking

, uh, the goods and taking them to another. this is a whole complex. this new clients is, well, building new relationships with them. this is new logistics. these are new routes. this is a new calculation route. it's a lot, so uh, right here i think that, of course, probably could have worked. better we see what else needs to be done, of course. let's do this . next year, of ​​course, there is a slight decrease in the incomes of the population, although the accrued wages are growing, but due to inflation, we have slightly eaten up, so to speak, we have eaten up real wages, but , taking into account the possibilities of the budget, we are doing everything to level out well, although the difference is absolutely small there at the level of 2-3%, well, in different categories, but nevertheless, there is such a small decrease, therefore, i had to act think management first take tough action. ah, known for taking inflationary processes under control and uh, point uh, pulling up means incomes, especially state employees, because in the real

sector of the economy it is uh, you don’t feel, uh, wages are growing in the real sector of the economy. why because the company's finances are improving? that is, here, returning again to the results of the year, we are seeing a very positive situation with the economy of the enterprise in terms of export dynamics in terms of revenues in line with the dynamics of the debt load, which is declining, that is, as for state employees, the head of state also spoke about the salaries of state employees, therefore the relevant regulatory act has been prepared and will soon be submitted to the president so that from the beginning of next year. let's say we compensated for this small one. this is a subsidence in incomes in state employees that we have. well, probably, if you sum it up like that, uh, summary or summary, uh, the answer to your questions, then belarus well, not just withstood, i think it coped with dignity it was precisely from the difficult situation in which they tried to put us this year that it was already mentioned that we even had to take such

tough measures on the price. regulation 713 decree for october november recorded deflation, maybe it’s already possible to cancel the decree next year, or the time has not yet come, because i took and read analysts that it can also be critical of such tough measures. they say that then it threatens with delayed growth, prices and theoretical practices are a little bit two different categories. although we, of course, will listen to the opinions of all experts. i am sure that if it were n’t for the external situation, we would be within the limits of the five percent inflation parameters set there, because you see that internal factors, rather than play a significant role in inflation, in a balanced macroeconomy means the foreign exchange market is balanced, and the exchange rate of the belarusian ruble strengthened against a basket of currencies throughout the year, well, with slight fluctuations, but nonetheless cumulatively. we have a fortification, that is, internal, but about

there were no inflationary factors, therefore. that’s all, it’s, well, notoriously imported inflation, but people don’t care what kind of external internal inflation it is. eh, they demand from us. well, decisions that affect wallets, er, so yes, such a decision was made, which means that it is being implemented now. i think that after, well, of course, the first days were and even weeks were very such resonances, because , well, the decision is rather extraordinary and , uh, world practice. e, probably, this kind is rarely used, which means complex decision on price regulation, but i will say, so many colleagues here that i meet at various events and forums. here is after this solution. they showed very great interest in this and, well, let's say kindly somewhere, maybe they were jealous that we showed such determination, uh, in this matter, of course, there are still problems somewhere, because they were

written out in great detail . all e norms down to technical nuances and it is in them now, in some aspects. and we see that practice shows that it is possible, it is necessary to take appropriate adjustment. therefore, right now, experts are working on this, they are analyzing the relevant ones. uh, already cases. such real, what is called here, as on the example of a particular product or group of goods, how surcharges affect them, how are the transportation costs and something else, therefore, when the time comes, er, and there will be some adjustments. eh, they might be included. i know they are uh actively discussed, but in general, uh, the system will continue to work. perhaps when inflation returns to normal, we will return to this question. well, for now, the main thing for us is to ensure, uh, to ensure that this ventilation pressure is reduced. and in principle, we have already succeeded in this, probably in the third month. we have deflation in october. it was -1%, and

in november uh, one and one tenth of a percent. here we are, in principle, e, although in his own there before. it's annual rate went off scale by 17%. i think we'll get out at 12-13. % on the outcome of today's conversation is all for you, as the head of government for today. what is question number one number one? well i'm all number one question, but if you answer exactly one question, i have two questions, but all are number one. the first question, well, for me personally, it probably matters more. this is what surprises 2023 has prepared for us, because all previous years we have also been prepared such surprises. not always pleasant, which we had to. uh, first respond and very time-consuming forces this time, so the first question. and what surprise

will 2023 bring for the economy or for the republic of belarus? i would like to hope that they will only be positive and pleasant, probably already in heaven. uh, a resource for not very pleasant, but surprises well, i want to come to an end, well, the second question number one is somehow connected, probably with the first one. a question that i would like to ask, probably more to the world leader, mainly to the west, when the thought finally comes in their minds that it is necessary to stop planting this state of permanent confrontation. and all countries should stop dictating their way of thinking, in in the end, when it comes to the realization that there are too many other problems on the planet in the world that we need to fight with all of humanity, because it was not in vain that the

united nations was created precisely as the united nations when all countries realized that there is. uh, those tasks that need to be solved by the whole world. well, or tolokoy, as we say, that disappeared somewhere. uh, the problem of the epidemic has disappeared the problem of global poverty, what if the climate agenda has disappeared, although it is treated differently, but nevertheless, that problems with global warming have gone somewhere. but we need to think about this now and make decisions in the interests of, and all of humanity of our entire planet, but do not engage in imposing, as i have already said to other countries with my will and imposing their own rules under the flag of democracy that has set its teeth on edge, this is the number one question . e, which i would also like to address, probably with the world. thank you very much, of course, let's hope for the best. of course, thanks.

do you know how to define a question that the

participants will never answer, everything is very just ask any you won’t be mistaken, erudite smart belarusians. i haven't been able to answer the question yet. and natasha already wrote something there. repin, you all think so, although what i ask them. they generally do not come to competitions ready to give all their strength to win the top rat prize. i heard a mouse. you say rat again. i accept the answer rat. this is the absolutely correct answer. what does the prospector do ? 24 days don't switch.
