the belarusian economy is developing dynamically, industry, construction and trade - main drivers of gdp growth. an increase in output and a new direction, enterprises of the ministry of industry increased the export of products. health improvement, studies, excursions and a large entertainment program belarus welcomes children from donbass. and for the first time , sign language interpreters will be trained at the higher education level at the minsk state linguistic university. on the air. for 8

months, gdp was 103, this is even higher than forecast; august added another 2%. in the growth zone of more than 80% of the economy, the drivers of acceleration from gdp are traditional. three drivers p industry, construction and retail trade and trade in general. if we talk about industry, these leaders, they have remained unchanged for several months, are mechanical engineering, machine tool building, and oil refining, chemical. industry, these are the drivers in the industry, if we talk about construction, construction is gaining momentum every month, and we can already see that if the total added value in construction is 104.5%, this mainly adds to construction and installation work and contract work , this is activation, or

acceleration of the pace of housing construction, including, we see the implementation of investment projects, exports on the rise in 7 months, they added more than 6%, and its value volumes set a new maximum over the past 10 years, such indicators were reached only in 2012. consumer activity is growing, this is facilitated, among other things, by record low inflation. for reference , deflation was generally recorded in august, and this is a decrease in prices, mainly due to food and fruit and vegetable products. meanwhile , enterprises of the ministry of industry began to sell more for export, as the geography of sales expands, industrial production in belarus increased by more than 16% over 8 months. became bigger. produce cars, dump trucks, combines, trucks, elevators, and televisions. exports increased by almost 19%. supplies to the cis countries, russia, uzbekistan, kyrgyzstan have expanded, and other countries are actively developing cooperation with africa. at the end of the year, it is expected that

more than 30 billion rubles worth of commercial products will be produced, and exports will approach $7 billion. innovative development of the enterprise - this is a constant movement forward, just like investment development, those machines that enterprises acquire today are potential, they must understand that in 10 years they will enter the next new investment cycle, this is like a bundle, a product , what we work on, plus the market , these are, as it were, the components of success , the work on import substitution at enterprises does not stop, many projects together with russian partners are on trend, for example , machine tool construction, we expect to create a union the machine is exclusively from... belarus and russia. by the way, achievements in industry were presented at the international exhibition irom kazakhstan. belarus also presented a national exposition. what package of proposals did our manufacturers come with, which of them were of interest to our partners? 32 belarusian enterprises presented their products and technologies. the expected amount

of commercial proposals is about $40 million. i must say that this time i was amazed by its scale. the total exhibition area is almost 12,000 km2, of which 6,000 are street. an exhibition of equipment that demonstrates the industrial potential of the eurasian union. the national exposition of our country is more than 700 km, many industrial giants are represented, for example , maz, belkomun, gomselmazh, mogilev, liftmash, atlant, horizon, integral and many other flagships, among the participants of the belolikprom concern, an organization, also the national academy of sciences, today the eac five are working closely on cooperation. taking this opportunity... i call on all eu partners to be more actively involved in the development of such end-to-end projects that tap into the potential of all member countries. within the framework of the eac, this year a roadmap for cooperation in the aircraft industry was signed, the key task of which is the formation of

cooperation chains of civil aviation industry enterprises in the eurasian space. we brought many of our new products to the forum, for example, a hydroplane, we have been producing it for the second year now, almost two dozen flying machines have been assembled, and this is an example of import substitution, intended for performing medical work, forestry work, agricultural work for spraying special tasks, here is a drone, here it has a canister, you see, yes, it allows you to load up to 20 liters of various mixtures for spraying, agricultural crops, ready to assemble forest fire equipment, other equipment for rescuers, also agricultural machines for a specific purpose ... climate conditions. by the way, kazakhstan plans to update up to 10% of aggregates for the agricultural sector per year; we have what is needed for the fields. among our interests are also new products in various fields from microelectronics to household appliances. the image project in bilateral relations between belarus and kazakhstan

is the construction of the belarusian quarter in kazakhstan and the kazakhstan quarter here. premiers take control of projects. thank you, the review was prepared by olesya vysotskaya. more economic news. and not only on the website of our tv channel www.belarus24.bi. concern belgus food industry is increasing the volume of production of import-substituting products. annual growth. 25-30%. the confectionery industry is working more actively in this direction. what innovative products have already arrived to the taste of belarusians, we will ask igor gruts, head of the department of the belgospischeprom concern, how much we earn from external supplies. hello igor. hello. import substitution has affected literally all industries. what are the dynamics, what are the prospects, can we say that today we are no longer substituting imports, but are ahead of import trends that are occurring in the market. yes, indeed, as you said, the beogosprom concern is actively engaged in import substitution, i would

probably even single out three areas, the first is definitely the production of consumer goods goods, and here, indeed, our confectionery enterprises are most actively showing themselves, in particular, probably among the latest projects, we can mention the launch of a new line of chocolate bars with a thickness of 4 mm, that is, previously there were no analogues, domestic analogues of such products on the market. therefore, our plans are also quite significant, already in october of this year we plan to launch the production of wafer rolls, next year we plan to build capacity for the production of soft caramel and wafer slabs in the family pack. that is, everything to it is necessary to produce high-quality, good equipment and not cheap, of course, that is, the line of technical re-equipment of our enterprises continues? of course, our modernization, it does not stop literally for a single day , we are studying what we need to purchase, in what time frame, in order to understand what we can offer to the market,

both to the domestic market and, in principle, to external foreign markets, the second direction , i would note - this is the replacement of raw materials, that is, from here, probably the main project that we are planning is the organization in the country production of cocoa beans , that is, we will be able to fully satisfy the demand of the domestic market for cocoa products, this applies not only to the confectionery industry, but also to a number of related industries, including, have cheeks already been planned? the project, in principle, already exists , the corresponding tenders are being held, and accordingly, well , in the near future , equipment will be purchased and buildings and structures will be built, that is, the project has already been launched, and the third is the deepening of processing, in particular in alcohol industry, we plan to further process raw materials to obtain granulated protein feed as output, which currently the agriculture of our country, unfortunately, still purchases from foreign countries, that is, they are imported. years, how mature is this project?

again, this project has been in the development stage for 2-3 years , accordingly, already in 20, 2024, we plan to directly begin its implementation, the first stage, comprehensive work is underway on import substitution, thanks to all the efforts that our enterprises make, and concerns and departments, what products have appeared on the market today, besides 4 mm chocolate , probably, the specificity of the food industry is that new products... are launched constantly, that is , literally weekly, we have one or another enterprise producing some new product and they leave it to the consumer to judge, so to speak, because well, the market dictates what is needed, in what packaging, at what price, and so on , sometimes our technologists and marketers, and they unite in such a creative tandem that tries to surprise the market with something, delicious and healthy, which is also important, you are also developing separately... a line for school and preschool meals, also a new type of product - these are cookies with butter,

there is no sugar, relatively speaking, there are healthy snacks in convenient packages, this is how it is developing, how wide is the range of school preschool meals today? yes, food for our children is, in principle , a separate niche in which we work. if we take the canning industry separately, then in the country there are more than 85 recipes that can be used to produce products with labeling for children of preschool and school age, but naturally we don’t stop there, and the concern’s enterprises continue to develop new types of products, in particular, just this year they released a new line of plant-based drinks, that is, there are, let’s say, soy, nut drinks, oat drinks and so on, we have developed a line of fruit purees in soft packaging of 200 g. again, the tastes are very varied... apple, pear, mango, bananas, all the well-known, let's say, and familiar to us fruits, berries , vegetables,

therefore, further, as you correctly noted, we also develop confectionery products, and try to make them as useful as possible for children, for this we involve, in particular, specialists from the scientific, scientific and practical center of the national academy of sciences of belarus for food, and together with them, that is we involve science to make our cookies and more, fruit bars and other sweets not only tasty, but healthy. in general, if you look at the export map, who buys our food products today? well, probably, again, specifics, there is a little secret that our main partner is the eurasian economic union and , above all, the russian federation, we must not forget that in the food industry taste and preferences play a significant role, so in particular, if we talk about the russian market, then we can be sure that if these food products are popular on the belarusian market, then on the russian market the russian buyer

will also like it and will buy them, on the other hand, we are neighbors with another large integration associations, european unions, we continue to work with them, yes, of course , we have never closed this door, we always try to maintain good relations with our partners, in principle, if you look at the numbers that we have, there has been no quantitative deterioration, but at the same time, of course, we see that our partners, i don’t mean counterparties, but rather the political component, so to speak, are not always friendly to our country, and accordingly, we cannot do this market... are actively engaged in export diversification. what new markets have opened, where do belarusian food products now come? let's just say that the new markets for 2023 are mexico and equatorial guinea. we are also

continuing deliveries that began at the end of last year to guinea bissau, iraq, and iran. a number of other countries, we still have a high rate of cooperation with the people 's republic of china, i believe that the potential of this market is still completely unexhausted for us, only this year we added 30% to the previous period, but our other counterparties are located in the countries of central asia, these are primarily uzbekistan, tajikistan, mongolia, southeast asia, vietnam, singapore, south korea, so we have somewhere to sell our products. it would seem that there are still 3 months until the end of the year, quite a lot of time, but the confectionery industry is already actively working on creating new year's gifts; will there be enough sweets for everyone this year? there will certainly be enough of them, we plan to produce more than 2,400,000 gifts, of which about 2 million will be delivered

to the domestic market, this is first of all, well , we are preparing to sell the rest to our partners in the russian federation in kazakhstan. in azerbaijan, the united states of america and their countries. thank you very much. igor grutsa, head of the department of the belgospischeprom concern, answered the program’s questions. next on the program are events for the health of children from donbass in belarus, preparation for the final of the 100 ideas competition for the cis and the construction of a national football stadium. we'll be back at the studio in a few minutes. this program events on belarus 24 and we continue. a group of children from donbass arrived in belarus for recovery; how the guests were greeted, what program they prepared for the children, let’s ask our columnist svetlana chernova. guys, there are 48 people in the group from lisichansk and severo-donetsk, they came to our country thanks to a project of the union state with the support of the paralympic alexei tolay foundation. this time novopolotsk is hosting the children. the three-week program is fully

scheduled, excursions, sports and entertainment events and of course, studies. hello belarus. thank you, okay, it was interesting to look out the window at big cities, i haven’t seen them for a long time, i want to get some sleep first, yes i want to get some sleep, then i want to go to school, meet people and make new friends, we’re very glad we came, it’s so beautiful here, at least let’s rest a little, without water it’s very difficult, yes, you need to wear it all the time, we’re glad that we have the opportunity to change the situation for the children, we know belarus as native people, caring, kind, this is what you say when your president speaks , we hear, we are it we see that he is worried about there being peace, this is the most important thing, we receive messages about help from the regions, and a request

to take children out of particularly dangerous regions like this, there was already a logistics problem, when under fire we simply could not take children from the regions, without exposing them to additional, which means, some kind of danger, a threat to their lives, therefore, by god's will, as it turns out , we react to the best of our ability and readiness, let me remind you that this is the first autumn group, our country will still accept children this is already the second time from donbass. year, more than 3,000 guys from zaporozhye, mariupol, donetsk and other territories were recovering their strength. belarusian inventors are preparing for the final of the 100 ideas competition for the cis, what unique things are they ready to present? a sensor glove for digitizing gestures of people with disabilities, a plant growth regulator, a heterovaphase quenching atomizer and much more. 12 developments were presented at

an exhibition in the press house, where young inventors also held an intensive online course with other competition participants. some innovative developments won twice, for example, a 3d printer, it prepares meat products, the uniqueness of the ideas is that all mixtures are of natural composition , this is natural meat, this is not artificial meat, not analogues, not for. also unique is that we can individually customize the needs of each person to set the nutritional biological value of the product, that is, if , for example, the body lacks iron, calcium, or some amino acids, you can model the composition of the product specifically for each person, or you can exclude allergens from the composition of the product, this is also very relevant. the main advantage of our project is the learning function, accordingly, we have already pressed the learning function into the application, for example, we enter the first letter of the alphabet a, accordingly the letter a looks like this. accordingly, this is the way to start training, accordingly, a red cross will be shown to us, accordingly, we bent our hand in the wrong gesture, those projects that they presented in

the final projects are an idea for belarus and what they represent now is a big difference, because that they constantly improve, add something new, and it is at such events that they can communicate with the expert community, listen to some recommendations and improve... their developments. the international final of the competition for innovative projects will take place in mid-october, and will be hosted by minsk. a new specialty has appeared at the minsk state linguistic university. who will be cooked? now the educational institution will train sign language interpreters. the belarusian society of the deaf and mglu concluded agreement on cooperation. previously, specialists in sign language communication were trained at the linguistics and humanities college. at the level of higher education in our country, such qualifications will be awarded for the first time in the country.

well, there are about 15,000 deaf people who are hard of hearing, among them about 5,000 are people of working age, they need communications, they need support, and the state provides them with this support through laws, through decrees, and there is an official belarusian sign language, which is precisely this year adopted as the official language of the republic of belarus, why are we signing the agreement, because yes, this is their task, yes, our teachers, and we believe that our task is to find the right, worthy use for them, we believe that the training of specialists of this profile will help a significant number of citizens not only of our country, to be aware of events, to hear what politicians, leading public figures, cultural figures are talking about, which we are laying today will definitely help us prepare highly qualified specialists and the most important thing is to make this training deeply

practical-oriented. the initiator of the innovation of the ministry of education enrolled 11 people in the translation department according to the new profile. the task was set for the university at the age of twenty-two. the university studied international experience in training specialists, including russian colleagues. in minsk next year. what will the future complex be like? it will be formed by several objects at once on the site between partisan avenue and vaneev street, where a national football stadium is being built today. he will become dominant. the arena has a capacity of 33,000 seats. this is a joint chinese-belarusian project, and nearby the reconstruction of traktor stadium, one of the oldest sports facilities in minsk, has begun. students will join in the work. this will become a youth construction site for brs. and already. this fall , the ring of glory gymnastics hall, which is located near the tractor, will be put into operation. naturally, the lawn remains with us, we are adding two

25x35 football training fields along the edges, it will be with artificial turf, we are undergoing renovations stands, 15,000, we have a tractor in total in the stadium, but the rings of glory, to a large extent , we did the replacement of stained glass windows, repairs... of the roof, façade anchorage, internal redevelopment work for the purpose of more compact convenient placement as coaches' locker rooms. the national football stadium will be able to host any sporting competition at the international level. thank you, the review was prepared by svetlana chernova. belarus is an open and tolerant state, where representatives of different nationalities and faiths live peacefully, closely how we maintain ties with the belarusian diasporas, how we develop cultural ties with compatriots abroad, how we maintain multi-religious peace in our country, let’s ask the commissioner for religious affairs and nationality, alexander rumak,

alexander alekseevich, hello. good afternoon, just a week ago we held the most beautiful festival of belarusian arts in the world. in your opinion, why are such events important, why is it so important to meet together? this festival is held every 3 years, everyone looks forward to it, especially our compatriots who live outside of belarus, according to various estimates, about 15 million belarusians live in different parts of the world. world, and of course, they remember their homeland, indeed , they want to come here, and i would say this is like a two-way process, because belarus cares about its compatriots, always remembers, supports them, and belarusians want to come to homeland, to belarus, to show how they preserve belarusianness, develop...

belarusian culture far beyond our country. maybe then we need to meet more often, at least once every two years, and not every three, what do you think? well, various events are held, in addition to the festival, internships are held annually for leaders of national cultural associations, for belarusian supoloks, and for leaders of amateur art groups, by the ministry of culture, we also meet in the office of the commissioner for religious and national affairs in order to discuss, what problems there are, plans for the future, that’s why our meetings are held annually. belarus is a multinational country, more than 150 nationalities live here, but at the same time it is surprising and pleasant to realize that no conflicts

arise there based on different religious views, interethnic approaches, or traditions. why? but indeed, belarus is a multi-confessional, multi-ethnic country, i would like to remind you that people of 25 confessions and religious associations live on belarusian soil, and there is peace among them. of course, this is not just given, a lot of work is being done for this by the president of our country, the government, all authorities, first of all, our country, has taken care to legislate the equality of all people, regardless of nationality, religion, every person has equal rights, both in the social sphere, in the cultural sphere, in the - economics, the right to work, and so on, but there are also a number of mechanisms that allow us to unite all people, regardless of whether the person was born here in belarus or the person came for various reasons and

lives. on our land, maybe also because we do not politicize religion, and this helps us strengthen peace, friendship , there is no doubt that our president, alexander grigoryevich lukashenko, said that each person chooses his own path to the temple, and the state does not create any obstacles here, while at the same time, the state seeks to unite everyone, so it acts... the commissioner for religious affairs and nationality of the interfaith council, this week there will be a meeting of the interfaith council, where leaders of all faiths, religious associations, so that we can discuss the issues and problems that concern everyone and affect everyone equally. the state gives the right to people of different nationalities to develop their traditions, culture, to maintain these connections, as

in... some are being implemented, we are opening some festivals, the opportunity to go there, conditionally to a mosque, to a church, to a church, how is this right implemented in practice? the state really provides assistance to national cultural associations that represent national minorities in our country, preserve and develop their culture, and this interethnic council operates under the authorized representative, where, just like the leaders of the confession, they gather... leaders of national cultural associations, by the way, the head of the interethnic council, throughout its entire period of operation since 2006 of the year is armenian georgiysh ivanovich yegi ozaryan, and representatives of different nationalities trust him so that he can be their leader, represent their interests in interaction with state and this also indicates that
