mostly sanctioned european suppliers of consumables broke contracts and found others in china and russia. so they will work and earn money. well, you probably remember the fate of this plant, that is, what we have . as a result, yes, with the support of the state, we have kept jobs organized, import-substituting production is developing the social sphere and, uh, all the corresponding economic effects associated with this. well, tell me, would we be able to save this enterprise, if we led with her current liberal ideas that the market will adjust everything, are you sure not? what do you think maxim leonidovich i want to return again. uh, everyone, to the thesis, uh, with which we actually started this preservation of the industrial complex in the country , the government understands this task very clearly and is doing a lot to attract investment and create conditions for renovation.

production in our country project one district one enterprise projects to be operated with the russian federation 16 projects that are currently under development approval and will soon be ready to start realizing the constant pressure on the enterprise within the country so that they create new production and modernize the existing ones, the president said in his message that, for example, the auto components market. in our union space with the russian federation, 19 billion dollars represent what a field for us to work with, but in order to realize this, we need to invest money on time. and-but to produce or purchase machine tools and metalworking equipment by import, and is there? where to put it? today it is necessary

to build a new plant on the ointment , construction has already begun on the production of buses 1.700 buses. we must produce and export, and the need is tens of thousands only in our region, the production of electric buses and many many others, and heavy dump trucks for goods. refrigerators, televisions, washing machines, we must produce everything ourselves, if we do not have time to do this, our traditional markets. our chinese friends will borrow money for us and already come to this market companies with e largest chinese manufacturers come to the russian market. we will have to compete with them, we will be late in those rearmament in the creation of new ones. goods of new competitive products, even in those price segments that we are currently working on

, will fly out of this market. it is necessary to move faster and the president constantly and constantly reminds of this. the fourth factor the head of state called the implementation of the economic programs of the union state. what niches are here. you see on the market of the union state the market of the union state is capacious and for example, the russian federation last year, e only in pharmaceutical products imported for 16. billion dollars therefore, the figures for headlights products, they are comparable to auto components. we have our own form of industry. we have access to components from which we can produce medicines. again , technological development is necessary, science is needed, which will accompany these projects to the household appliances market. russia consumes about

7 million tvs annually, 3 million refrigerators and freezers. a huge number is again our capabilities to access this market. i have already spoken about food products russia imports 100 billion food products china imports 240 billion food products annually. technological equipment china annually imports a trillion. e dollars, listen, well, in these volumes of markets, the huge markets of our closest partners. i'm not talking about friendly countries, about our closest partners with whom we have. and strategic cooperation in these volumes. we have to find our place there are markets and i i think that soon we will understand what we

need, that we can find financial resources, that we have the ability to import technological equipment and production. we need to deal with demographic issues. this is a strategy that is also included in the president's message. today we must deal with labor resources. and a lot of questions have accumulated in this area, ranging from basic and professional education to a new one. population security program, where we must answer key questions with what population? with what labor resources in the long term, we will implement all these tasks.

the president's message was delivered and the share of criticism is the large-scale digitalization that the government has been saying for years, while the digitalization process is stalling in many aspects, so software from unfriendly countries can pose a security threat to our strategic facilities of the belarusian nuclear power plant, other energy facilities, and the financial sector. here's how you can protect yourself in this regard, uh, use only domestic software and hardware, but whether such assessments will be made, for example , by the national bank, but it takes time. i think that we will need 3-4 years to replace many of the components that are currently operating in our country. well. there is another,

global component, the market did not concentrate there on those corporations that were monopoly suppliers there, there is another side, e companies that received less well-known, but located in friendly countries, and in case of economic necessity, we can direct this import to friendly countries. the people's republic of china has made a colossal leap in recent years of its development, and in china you can buy everything in development. here is your thesis on politics in this area. e maksim leonidovich please tell me how to reorient the it sector towards solving applied national problems. what are the tools? we talked a lot about the hi-tech park. it's really commercial successful projects. which brought, e, significant volumes of up to $ 2 billion in exports of computer services. but this is

a commercial project we have in terms of export orientation from the point of view. uh, let's say the demand for e-park services in the domestic market. this was a very narrow area of ​​activity for the park. very few park companies were engaged in work in belarus. at the same time , large industrial enterprises such as belaz developed. in fact, these divisions departments created those products that are in demand in this particular area. and this is the kind of direction that can quickly get. eh, the effect and development is now necessary so that the working conditions, including from the point of view of taxation from the point of view

of wage policy, and other financial and non-financial incentives, work for these units in the same way as they work for the park such an assignment given by the president, the government is developing measures that will create additional incentives for the development of subdivisions of applied subdivisions of industrial enterprises of the academy of sciences in the field of information technology is a problem, but about which valery ivanovich said on his own. we have not decided we will not create products that will also compete with the competitive theme of database management systems with operations. with the systems that we have traditionally received from us or western europe, we must cooperate with the russian federation with other countries with which they have a high

level of technological development. yes, even them we should not forget about india the countries that are forming today, and uzbekistan and azerbaijan are the countries that are building up these competencies. here is a joint effort with friendly countries. we are able to challenge the development of basic software for our entire economy. we can decide. but for this we need a program, we need a program of joint actions, so far there is no such program, but i see that everyone is making efforts by the government to solve this problem for us. having such a large-scale it-sector, expand this sector to meet the needs of the national economy , and many countries are following the path of forced digitalization when they introduce digital e-inspectors as digital officers as

controllers. as far as that state body or organization provides digitalization in accordance with the planned plans or with the requirements of the current modern level of digital development. we need to create something similar. we need to forcibly push everyone into digitalization, because without digitalization it is impossible to solve these problems. well, i want to support maxim leonidovich because the miners work well with it-sleepy companies, for example, his stats were very good. and today we are working on this, it is really necessary to turn our it specialists towards the internal market of work together with enterprises and government agencies in order to ensure, e, full informatization of all the processes that we use today and even work with open codes, as today, in principle, already started. this is work, when it people

help us work in this direction.

as a sixth factor, our president noted the activation of investments and pointed to

a 19 percent lag in capital investments. the task is to reverse the investment trend of recent years this year. let's listen. we need a package of additional guarantees for responsible investors, for example, the purchase of products by the state, the reimbursement of part of capital investments, the creation of ready-made production sites, the infrastructure, the rules for investors are simple, those who want to create production , new jobs, decent wages. they are sluts. a solid social package for employees introduction of innovations and assistance in expanding competence valery ivanovich how do you assess the investment climate in our country? after all, there are preferences, there are guarantees,

including babushka's clause in certain technopark structures. will the provision of additional guarantees lead to an increase in responsible investors, if we take a comprehensive approach to assessing the investment climate of the republic of belarus, then it is good, firstly, the environment itself, uh, market capacity, that is, well, some basic conditions, then various benefits regional ones, parks, which potential investors can take advantage of, and we know with you that last year, for example, against the backdrop of a general reduction. the volume of investments the number of entities investing, for example, e in a zone with a pre-differential investment regime. we have a few of them, uh. hmm, there has been a significant increase, if i'm not mistaken by 10%. but there is always room for improvement in this

activity now.
