of foreign exchange earnings. why is export so important for the belarusian economy? which industries have the most potential? as in our does the country support exporters and is additional measures needed to increase efforts? let's discuss it with competent experts right now. today in our studio we have experts 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, balance of payments, and macroeconomic indicators. the importance of export lies primarily in the fact that it is an opportunity to obtain funds for payment. imports and indeed, as a factor in foreign trade, exports for belarus, it has traditionally been the most important area of ​​economic activity, why does this happen, in belarus, well, let’s say, not too rich the country has natural resources, and in order... for the economy to function

, we need resources, we import energy, we import most of the raw materials that we use in production, we have a fairly high share of intermediate imports, so in order to pay for these imports , 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, so that the ratio of exports and imports. 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 products that are competitive in foreign

markets, in order to receive the necessary funds to pay for these imports, that is, export - this is the currency we need to finance imports. acquisition externally from abroad of goods, works, services, intermediate consumption items necessary for our economy, what else? and we get rich 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 as our own... this is very important, therefore , in order to develop, in order to grow , we cannot do without the export of goods, especially since the global market is becoming more and more globalized, therefore

, in order for the economy to function effectively, it is necessary to enter all the markets that exist in the world, what else, and more, of course, i will support. nothing 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 is science, this is high-tech, and today , for example, in revenue, every fifth ruble received is... innovative products, in exports, every third dollar received, or every third ruble received is a high-tech or knowledge-intensive product, 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 , are involved in this, your direct activities, what is the connection between exports and macroeconomic indicators ? well, inna viktorovna spoke about the degree of openness, and so the degree of openness of the economy precisely characterizes the relationship with the external sector, and so in this we are the absolute leaders among countries of the cis, the former, uh, so if we talk about general foreign trade turnover, then we have more, 1.3 times, foreign trade turnover exceeds the entire gdp, and 60%, even more than 60%, our share of exports in the total domestic output . and for some positions, such classic belarusian export positions, this is mechanical engineering, and even exceeds 80%, this suggests that we produce much more, many times more in some positions than we can produce ourselves, therefore, clearly, from activity on

foreign markets of our enterprises depends in general, the functioning of our economy as a whole and, above all, this is one of the sources of the influx of foreign exchange earnings into the country ; we have no other sources, especially now unfortunately, these are only foreign investments, the inflow of which 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, and services to foreign markets, well, except for those announced. yes, thanks for the question. export is generally quite an amazing category, because apart from purely economic aspects, it is a little like, you know, like a diamond, depending on what angle you look at it, the light it casts, like many economic categories, like many , yes, well, what is export, from the point of view of the legal

meaning or such procedural issues, in essence it is a fact, a documented fact in the customs declaration, the crossing of goods through the customs territory and its transfer to on a reimbursable basis from residents. yeah, but from an economic point of view, this is a much deeper process, because, well, firstly, the number of exporters, the number of entities involved in exports in the country is a five-digit sum, i won’t publicly voice it, but it’s a five-digit sum, find an enterprise, which would not be involved in external 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 providing a source of income, then this is already a question, well, let’s say, of the functioning of the country, because there is not enough domestic market, we all want to live better, we all want to receive income through production. financial and economic activities, 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 there is always comfort in working in the domestic market and there is nothing to do in the external market. but as athletes say, you'll never understand your real level until you go out on the court with other modern athletes, try to run a kind of indicator of the competitiveness of products, and not only that, but does understanding confirm it? all your advertising announcements, let’s say, are 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 the world, uh-huh, by voting financially, by concluding a contract, by confirming that yes, you are a modern business, the second is a source of motivation, since working in the foreign market always forces you to be the best; inside, marketers and engineers can of course move, but a modern top manager, the head of an enterprise, tries to ensure that his services, his business units, responsibility for the production process from household ,

oriented, strived for the best in the world, uh-huh, uh-huh, well, that is, we come to the conclusion that export is an economic category that largely ensures the economic security of our country, oh the importance of export issues is evidenced by the fact that they are regularly raised at the level of the head of state , sales markets, logistics, and specific problems, barriers that exist are discussed there, solutions are determined, yes, appropriate instructions are given, but uh, their focus essentially one thing, this is the promotion of belarusian products and a systematic increase in supplies, let's listen, exports are a currency without which the country and the economy cannot live, especially since belarus is an export-oriented economy it has. half of what we produce , we will have to sell in order to live normally,

due to the fact that they tried to strangle us last year with sanctions, the existing logistics were disrupted, we had to look for new ways, logistics, that is, ways of supplying, selling our goods, we need to think about how to increase exports. and viktorovna , they say that statistics know everything, well , it’s hard to argue with that, you probably have everything... you know , you probably can’t say everything regarding foreign trade, but tell me, have we managed to overcome these trends? negative ones that developed after the introduction of unfair sanctions against the republic of belarus, what dynamics does the foreign trade balance of our country demonstrate? it was certainly possible, if last year we noted a decrease in the pace, including the index of physical volume for export supplies. then this year we received an increase in the supply of products for export, this is

unambiguous, this is the first and second, the most important thing is that we have already reached the twenty-first year and have increased it a little, this concerns the physical volumes of export supplies, this is according to in fact, the 9th, 10th month is actually 9 months, that is, today we have quite good indicators, as for the balance, before 2020 our balance was usually minus, negative, in 2020 it was consistently positive, and in the past year, the highest level of positive balance was registered 4 and almost six tenths of a billion us dollars. as for the current year, for january-september there was also a positive balance of $538 million, this is a good result, because in this year, when they changed... the rates changed directions, naturally, there is also import in order to produce products,

accordingly, the achievement of a positive salo indicates that supplies have been balanced, to the detriment of our opponents, well , here’s another thing, if you allow me, i would like to mention one point, we are often reproached, yes, that there is nowhere to look at operational statistics on foreign trade and so on, so that our people understand us, this was done on purpose. and they’re thinking about where they can attach us there, so that we have some kind of sanctions there enter packages 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, what industries are these? at the moment they are demonstrating, well, such a maximum or

confident export potential, this is a light industry enterprise, so this is... practically all enterprises, very many enterprises of the machine-building complex, and here from electronics to equipment, this is pharmaceuticals, certain areas of the food industry, chemical materials, in principle , these areas show quite high, very high rates, and indeed they are drivers today, that is, these were precisely the areas in which we understood that the sanctions had hit it hurt last year and today again i want to repeat it, please note that they have returned to the level of the twenty-first year, by the way, our cost volumes are a record for the last 11 years since 2012 , our cumulative export volume has exceeded 35 billion, and if we talk about what inna viktorovna said, we

have not only narrowed the geography, we have expanded it, but to the countries of asia and latin america we... already have countries asia, for example , increased supplies by 1.3 times, and some countries in latin america increased them several times, so it was possible to diversify, those flows that were in unfriendly countries are concentrated, now reoriented, i will add that, for example, if last year our diversification mainly took place in the market cis, then this year we are already seeing growth in markets outside the cis, that is, this... both the long-distance arc and work with other countries is very important here. officials of latvia , the investigative committee of belarus opened a criminal case under the article of crime against the safety of humanity. previously, criminal

cases were opened against their comrades from poland and lithuania, although these countries... participated in disturbing the peace in the countries of the middle east, they are in no hurry to let refugees in, maybe this is different, the confrontation between the west and russia that began in the times of the cold war have received an unexpected continuation in our days, their attempts not to be like russian representatives of the so-called civilized world have reached a new level, now it is not enough for them that they have european ones, they are required to comply with new standards, in case of disobedience, removal of children, the west has come to something that destroys itself from the inside. the author's project of ksenia lebedeva is different. watch new episodes on the tv channel belarus 24.
