the protesters took to the roadway and went to the building of radio and television of serbia. according to information, tomorrow the radicals are planning to organize a daily blockade of highways, which will turn into a large protest on saturday in the capital of the country. thousands of houses without electricity, fallen trees and blocked federal highways. these are the consequences of the ice storm that took place in north dakota in the usa. ice accumulations in the affected area are the largest since late, the national weather service office said. nineties. in belarus today sleet and temperatures up to 6° are expected, precipitation, snow, and rain will occur almost everywhere. in some areas there is light ice with accumulation of wet snow. there may be icy conditions on the roads and wind gusts up to 14 m/s in some places. and this is all the news of the issue, my colleagues, will continue at 3:00 pm. and i say goodbye to you. see you at the first button at the end of the outgoing year.

a weekly socio-political talk show is on the air. today we will talk about something that probably concerns us all before the new year. we'll all go to stores, look at prices, look at the range of goods. as a matter of fact, let us now debunk those rumors about how everything will become more expensive by the new year and whether traders will really profit from ordinary belarusians. if you want to join our program, please point your phone, a qr code appears at the bottom of the screen. you can

actually go to the forum of our page on youtube and write your question there, but if you want, for example, to see and read how and what we think about this in general program after the broadcast, subscribe to our telegram channel qr is also at the bottom of the screen, alena syrova and kirill kazakov will spend the evening with you, good afternoon, hello, well, in general. i remember the broadcast of our program dedicated to the regulation of pricing policy, after a meeting with the head of state in october last year, which was very loud in every sense and so decisive, then for a whole year we lived according to the new rules, at the same time we tried to develop a system, alexey egivich, i’m saying it right, absolutely right, that a system that is understandable and not under stress . yes, after all, i had to pull

the stop valve so that these prices were tamed a little, and in a clear, calm way, everyone could find answers to the questions that concern them: don’t run around the managers, don’t run around the local vertical, including , not to agree on prices, but to understand planning perfectly, because just when this decision was made, the head of state was criticized and said that business would not work like that, because he was accustomed to a certain stability, to certain clear rules. of course, we will discuss all this, but as kirill noted , many will actually go to the store, but many are already going, yes, they are putting together a basket, this is for the new year, yes, this is for the new year, and just pre-new year shopping, this is a period when, well, you see, it’s expensive and inexpensive, everyone will buy anyway, at a meeting that took place this week they were talking about the assortment, and then they stumbled on a cucumber. we already

joked here before we started, yes, that the studio is so warm and light that it would be possible, in general, to to grow, but the editors were puzzled, we actually went shopping and found out that there are fewer belarusian cucumbers, well, as such, there are fewer of them than russian or, in general, other imported ones, well, probably all this is explained by seasonality, but they are talking about the fact is that it’s still seasonal, if we see how...

it’s not healthy, it’s not good, so for many years now we have been working together as a country on an import substitution program and working successfully. and tomatoes and cucumbers for the first time, why this before it wasn’t, well, because it was possible to bring in imports, after all, providing additional lighting to heat greenhouses is expensive, but look, now too, i’m talking about the fact that the russians are mainly, well, with our partners with ours, with our allies there are no questions, i think that it will always be possible to buy from them and

sort of come to an agreement, but we are betting on ours, we are betting on ours, we have already been burned several times even by our partners, because there is a bare market there, there is no management, how here, and there, if the price has increased, like now, now there the purchase price is 10 rubles.

from a neighboring country, there is a question about the fact that there is no chicken egg on the shelves, and if there is, then it costs very wild prices, well, wild money, yes, they even asked putin on a direct line, this can happen with any product here, oh which you can come up with, with cucumbers , with chicken, why am i saying this, look

, there is an election campaign ahead, our enemies are now raising the topic that we will be short of something, and if we do have enough, it will be at exorbitant prices very... and before me, here’s vladimir vladimirovich will answer, i remember there was a story with runaway milk, we ruined it all in minsk, when prices in russia were higher, we sold it.

you can sell on the export market at any price, but a little later we will look at it in more detail, let’s look at the expectations from what came true, alexander, just when these tough decisions were made, we already said, in general we were waiting for a certain shortage to appear on the shelves, but they would be empty, not only that they tried to strangle us with sanctions then, yes, that is certain manufacturers were missing , we weren’t quite there in time, maybe... somewhere we were replacing some positions with imports, then there’s this bam, the regulation is strict, but it didn’t

come true, the economy is showing growth, in general, it seems to me , that the majority of belarusians have already forgotten to even think, in principle , yes, they are observing, well, some kind of price increase, but not such that there is a lot of talk about it or worry about why this happened, this is the position you held, then a year ago with small, well, personally i stick to the position that in the world today... in principle, this is from open sources and personal observations, research, in principle there is enough of everything in the world today, to say that somewhere something is missing, even there starving africa is just manipulation, manipulation of the prices of global players, to say that right now belarus will become the country in which it is now on the shelf, everything will disappear at once, and we will close the year with this, this will not happen and cannot happen, because everything is in the area is thinking about how to sell. some today there are seven-minute fluctuations, there are these exchange rates, which are svo in russia, there

is an expectation of something bad there, sugar was bought up, salt was taken out, there it is possible one-time, but on the whole the average for the year, for the month, for the week, well today we do not experience problems with nutrition, we have no, no one is starving in belarus and in russia, but we are only talking about food. as for, for example, imported goods, a year ago i gave the example that, say, the majority of belarusians buy 100%, it will be imported, only because we will never produce coffee, yes, it’s just that thing that will always be on the table, because people are used to drinking coffee, this cannot go to waste, that is, we understand perfectly well that we will grow cucumbers, we will have milk, we will have meat, there will be imports, today there is no problem with coffee either, there is an overabundance of coffee in the world, they don’t know what to do with it. the same as with the story with diamonds, diamonds, diamonds, the market, it is oversaturated, there are simply global

players who are holding back the release of this coffee to the market, and what you say, belarus does not have its own coffee production, well, there are colleagues who will tell you how much coffee, i’m saying that they don’t grow coffee, yes, i understand that, what they do here is packaging, roasted, we don’t grow cocoa beans, we have chocolate on the shelf, we also consume energy, what we predicted and predicted did not happen, a complete collapse, well, you need to ask those who predicted it, i didn’t predict this, in in my worldview, taking into account my preparation of such a model, well, it shouldn’t have happened, it didn’t happened, so whoever predicted it can answer this question, why what factors did he use for this analysis, the analysis was used, then maybe it was pressure on the republic with the goal that ...

no one fled, no one the exchanger did not run, nor the products were stingy, the question here is that in fact the state made it so that we did not even have the thought that something could happen and look, here i am again. i’m just quoting our extremist channels, sorry, i’ve been reading services for a long time, in order to it’s easy to understand how they do it, they call it all like this: we’re almost in the late ussr, look, now the president regulates prices with his hands, so there was such a story, everything disappeared for us, a total deficit appeared, in fact, almost this led to the collapse of the country, a year ago we were told the

same thing, that is, the shelves will be empty, in fact, everything will be lost in our country, although you and i are not the same.

they don’t think, well, let’s start with inflation, uh, the current estimate, taking into account the two weeks of december, was announced at the meeting figure, that is, now in annual terms , inflation is 5.4%, or rather, since the beginning of the year, 5.4% has increased, that is, at the end of the year

, well, a little more is expected, maybe 5.5, maybe a little more, but... at least the goal that was set for this year is 7.8%, that is , it is being fulfilled, as for the fears or the escalation on social networks that was about empty money, the national bank is leaving its goal of containment, of ensuring price and financial stability, approaches to the implementation of cash loans. the politicians will be the same as in in principle, have already proven their effectiveness, this is control over money supply, this is a flexible monetary policy, this is an interest rate policy, which, on the one hand, seeks to ensure the savings process in the economy, on the other hand, it provides enterprises

with affordable loans so that they worry about that it will be the producers who will suffer, it will simply be unprofitable for them to do this at some point, well, since the network will not be able to buy at the prices at which they need to, and so on and so forth. how we survived here

this period is the enterprises of your concern, and i know that at the meeting, and before it, such systematic work was carried out in order to look from all sides, yes, in order to maintain this balance, and the manufacturer, the consumer, and so on, some critical remarks it was possible that they taught. from your wards, you know, the enterprise of the belgus food industry concern, in principle, as an integral part of the market participants, was also worried about the question of how, in the new conditions, we can develop further, work as far as we can ensure the fulfillment of those basic indicators on which, in principle , the enterprise is built. i’ll tell you that, probably, in the first month it was quite difficult to navigate, like everyone else, since more complex explanations were required on the rules of operation of the opportunity, on the application of resolution 713, but in my opinion , the main thing is that this document allowed for domestic manufacturers, it did not regulate the market, he regulated the rules

of the game; today, chain trade enterprises often lived at the expense of producers, especially at the expense of those incentive payments that supposedly we were obliged to pay, to include in the price in order to stimulate the possibility of increase, to simply buy a shelf in the store. this document, it determined today the attitude towards domestic producers and the attitude towards imported manufacturers, so i’ll tell you that without losing today in economic efficiency, we have won in quantitative terms, that is, our volume of product sales, both last year and this year year, the domestic market has grown and grown, probably, let’s say, significantly in relation to even including imports, imports, probably last year , when... the rules changed, they looked to some extent, took a certain period of time, to see what would happen, whether the domestic producer would be able to saturate

, whether the domestic producer would be able to replace the goods in the main positions in order, perhaps, to manipulate and somewhere it may be necessary to make some adjustments already in order to import and stimulate imports, this did not happen, today the domestic manufacturer turned out to be ready to provide supply. in any quantities, taking into account the increasing demand during the seasonal period for those product items that turned out to be the most sensitive, let’s explain how it was, when these decisions were made, so we are talking about the fact that from now on there will be no need to go to higher management to coordinate, let’s using a simple example, let’s take a separate enterprise and what needed to be done, if we think that candy in general needs to be sold there, i don’t know, for 2 rubles more, you know, in the belgubrom concern, under my... leadership there was organized commission to set prices for new goods on the possibility of revising prices for existing goods in terms of the desire

of the enterprise to increase their cost there by some 2-3% than this was caused by, first of all, an increase in costs in terms of production costs they are undoubtedly growing, today wages are growing, depreciation deductions are growing today, the cost of raw materials is growing today, especially which we today... this was the first task, so out of probably thirty-seven commission meetings, which we held during the year, probably 30 percent, these were meetings at which

decisions were not made in favor of the enterprise, or the products remained for delivery to the domestic market at the same prices , supplied as originally was, but with the proviso that today , on commission, we established a number of cost items for enterprises that needed to be worked on, and on which today there was a real opportunity. reduce in order to remain at the cost price in which they worked to remain at the one relatively speaking, the efficiency of product sales, enterprises operate at a loss, no, today not a single enterprise operates at a loss when supplying products, and i’ll tell you more what the head of state said today, even if today we see a decrease in sales efficiency to the domestic market due to the fact that here the price grows at a slower pace than the cost is possible to grow there, we always have the... opportunity, by selling products for export, to win back these losses and in total to get the result that we were originally aimed at, that is,

here we sell cheaper for export, yes.

in total we received more than 100%, we received with the exception of grain, but here they will say that he cheated on the grain, and we received a little less grain, but at the same time it is enough to ensure food security, that is, we have fulfilled the state order , there will be enough to ensure public livestock. feedstuffs in order to later obtain livestock products, and for all the rest we have sprouted this year, i will add that we are including customers from the ministry of agriculture and food for certain items of raw materials, which are important for us, and we use them to ensure , let’s say, the production of socially significant products, such as sugar, rapeseed, sugar beets, and barley as well brewed.

agreeing on a price at the beginning of the year, and the price is the determining factor in order to formulate this state order, secure it, and each farm will already understand how it will proceed. we proceeded from the fact that the price initially for government orders was should not be increased to the level of last year; in principle, we agreed to maintain the price level for our main types of raw materials at the level of last year, even. for individual items like rapeseed , the ministry of agriculture and food met halfway, reducing the price of government procurement to the level of 2022 for 2023, again the situation influenced, that is, we, for our part , are working together here in order to ensure uniformity of production, i apologize, i will remember to answer your question about working with belgospishcheprom, this year we for the first time, we received more than a million tons of rapeseed

more... in this way, force the enterprise to really start working with costs, to really optimize production, so that it doesn’t happen that everything that grows there, i’ve included in the price in an uncontrollable way. of course, well, this is no longer an approach, constantly , it is clear that there were always plans to reduce costs, they were constantly every year, but today look, the agricultural producer price index for the current period decreased by 6.5%, that is, this resolution 713 made you think above cost, and interestingly , there is another figure, there was an increase in the contribution of material costs to the cost of production from 2 to 3.6%, from 4

this made us move, as the president says, move more about what to invest in this price, without losing quality, without losing production volumes. now let’s finish the first part of the program, after all, the forecast from you is what we expect, again based on inflationary assumptions for next year, and well , is it possible to give some kind of assessment of the national bank of the future? next year, based on the fact that, again , we are predicted to have almost terrible inflation

, i have already said about politics, and the other, no doubt so important part is the system that is now being introduced, it will allow, well, i will express my point of view, that well, if you look

at what happened before, then any kind of inflationary impulse, it came from the external sector, well, look at the historical series of inflation about...

well, it’s not enough, although in fact, well, i was shopping, i went yesterday , there really is everything there, but maybe, well did you predict, firstly, such a rush for the new year, and secondly, well, somehow , so we started talking, prices , strictly speaking, the assortment in retail chains, it’s also somehow regulated, of course, everything is regulated , is stated in the law on trade, there are mandatory lists of goods, but as for cucumbers , let me go deeper, after all, having worked for 7 years... and i’ll take a little bit of bread from my colleague vladimir vladimirovich, we are in the off-season period, namely in winter when there is little the sun, we need to add additional light to the cucumbers so that they produce, so that they grow in a certain way and provide heat, this is of course a cost, we have not done this before, we brought russian

imports, energy resources are cheaper there than here, they brought from there, they brought from turkey, they brought from europe and so on, we saw now during the sanctions period that this is impossible to achieve, since they take a very long time to deteriorate, well, in russia there is a wild market, so the price can... what did you do, yes, the plan is big, there is something to build, but why build today when there are nine of the fourth degree and higher, the complexity of the greenhouse, which are capable of providing a volume of 9.00

tons in winter with a little modernization, we have a monthly consumption of 2-2, we can close it ourselves, but somewhere there is not enough today, we have to get it and he already said, that you can build, you can not build, you can work, you can not work, the main thing is that it... is on the shelves, and elena nikolaevna, you heard the first part of our conversation, in general, if we go back to the past, yes, mm, at that october meeting the trade unions also suffered and deputies, and all those who probably should have signaled that there was a problem, including questions brewing among the population, in general, everyone went shopping themselves and also saw, but for some reason they were silent . they delayed it to the point that they had to raise the issue at the highest level. since then, we have seen straight lines of raids, trade union leaders, deputies, government officials, and journalists, everyone came, and now they continue to do so. so, maybe somehow the tactics changed, i don’t know,

in order to isolate the nuances, well, which, which are not visible, yes, at first glance, that is, we understand that only suicides could raise prices and rip off prices; it provided for even criminal liability. that human psychology is structured this way, today i went to the store , i bought something, yes, if something has gone up in price by 20 kopecks or 40, i won’t even look at what product i bought, and if it’s an everyday product, i’ll say, oh, everything has gone up in price here, the same cucumbers, they were there, i came, they took them apart, yes, oh, they are out of stock, in fact... this is a product that is sold periodically

and the fact that it is not there means that our products are very good, last year we always look at food products, now we look at food products, and the market for belarusian fruit and vegetable products has become very saturated, if it used to be imported, it was very eye-catching , but now it’s belarusian, but we looked at the famous borscht set, and last time i talked about it a little, a kilogram of potatoes, cabbage, beets, onions, carrots, if that’s me... .in principle, what’s interesting is that we we see regional differences, we look , for example, our latest monitoring showed that if this kilogram of borscht set, even more than a kilogram per kilogram, for example, in the grodno region costs 642, then in vitebsk it is 6.99, in minsk it is already 7.48 , and in principle we saw the same things related not to fruits and vegetables, but we conduct periodic monitoring of how to collect for a child.

everything is more expensive in minsk, well, look, we really have larger shopping centers here, we have higher wages here, there really are more costs, for example, for transportation costs, it’s clear why it’s more expensive in minsk, colleagues, well , i didn’t talk about minsk to get my child to school. just showed the regional price , which was jumping, well, we work very closely with march, we transmit it right away, they look, are there some moments there, or are there no such moments, and what am i talking about now, about regional differences in our country, that we are not now saying on the corner that there is such a rise in prices, and we also saw, for example, this year cereals were declining very well, sunflower oil was declining, but part of the belarusian fruit industry, we saw that there was growth too, but it was spotty, on average, that’s why i compare regions, because the average salary in our country has now already exceeded 1,900, if my

memory serves me right, but in some belarusian towns this salary is up to a thousand, you and i understand perfectly well that this same set of products should be worthy and accessible to people, so we look at how the trade union 64 types of food products are the most demanded by belarusians, which are on everyone’s table, these are the products that are necessary for a person to have a normal functioning of his body. the ministry of health has long ago developed such standards, and we look at a family of four people, we take two adults and two children, one. school age, one , say, kindergarten, yes, one parent works in the public sector, and one works somewhere in industry or agriculture, this is the minimum set of products we compare if with last year take it, then in some cases it was even less by month, and goods that are not of everyday use, we still talked about the fact that belarusians are accustomed to not just eating bread, bread and butter, or maybe even some crust and a new one year, well, that is, it is clear that these are goods that.

with more than half we come to the conclusion that the cost in the pre-promotional period, during the promotional period, by stimulating our own sales, reducing the period, we agree that the network should make a retreat from the maximum possible trade markup and apply more, say low rate. an allowance that would allow us to speed up turnover and get us maximum sales in simple words, in simple words, if today a 25% trade markup or 30% is the maximum trade markup, we are saying that today we will provide you with a conditional discount of a little more than 2- 3%, but your trade markup , as agreed, should not be more than 20%, but for individual networks, conditionally, even the same consumer cooperation, for which the level of distribution costs is 25% today, and somewhere around 30, apply today. same similar look approval is quite problematic,

because this level will not cover their costs and , accordingly, will force the enterprise to operate somewhere at a loss, therefore , by supplying the same product at the same price, we can observe a picture where in certain regions, in certain retail facilities there are different prices for an identical type of product, on the one hand, this is true, but on the other hand, the president says that the price should be fair, fair for the belarusian town too... the meeting of the president, when he specifically said that for the new year, all residents of belarus should have what they want on their table, that is, actually for... a year ago at a meeting i want to ask a little question : we talked a lot about intermediaries back then, i talked to one entrepreneur who was engaged

in supplying products from minsk, delivered them to the regions and said that now it is extremely unprofitable to do this, because prices are regulated everywhere. and he will wind down his business, a year has passed, he is working, this is the situation, well, sort of, but the situation with intermediaries, it has changed, because i understand that the manufacturer wants to get some very fair price for the fact that he produced conditional milk, you processed it into a specific product, and naturally you also get a price, the store essentially sells, naturally also not at a loss, but there is still an intermediary between them, that’s how...

in this way the enterprise works on the cost, another way to bring order to the market was to get away from intermediaries, here we have here below, why, how did we manage to do this, it’s just that we have the very premium that could be had in the wholesale-retail link, it was independent, 30% is there, regardless of the chain of intermediaries, that is, it was already not enough for two or three intermediaries, even for one they didn’t make money on this percentage. automatically they just started to knock this business out of it, alexey igorevich, let’s go back to this new system that was developed jointly for price regulation, which will work, i remind you, from january 1 next year, but so far i haven’t heard any sound some numbers, maybe you can give some examples, but how much these same corridors will cost, how much it will be possible to increase

the cost, you know, nikolai genadyevich at the meeting reported all the main points that we had already developed in resolution 713.

the resolution was the same in no. 14, that is, it could be, irina vasilievna, tell me, this is how a person who may not understand economics as well as you do, it means that thanks to this resolution, yes, the president said that citizens they will understand in general how the price will rise , so this is how we can understand how the price will rise, for dummies, this is what will

happen, here i am an ordinary citizen, i come, my price is rising there for, i don’t know, bread, for sausage, and i think that, well, everything is there, thanks to this i... a salary increase for the year, so a 6% increase in price growth is included, when he complains that everything is correct, because inflation is also included, prices are rising, you need to ask a question, but your salary was increased this year, but this is different, this is different, this is all interconnected, then the same as when the last elections were held, a comrade came to me to campaign without understanding, and he said, i, he says, will immediately solve the issue of unemployment, inflation, these are two different directions...

in april, prices were raised to the level which made it possible to stop this demand today, people saw that, in principle, nothing had changed, sugar remains the same as it was before...

this is a very large share, so expect some kind of growth, well, which would contribute to speculative demand, speculative sales, this definitely won’t happen, you know you once asked yourself a question, and manual regulation will explode from the first day, uncontrollability, listen, when i hear such things, a colleague laughs, an economist, this is just funny, these are beautiful clickable headlines for journalists. so much everything is calculated, we separately count each parameter of this complex one of the most complex macroeconomic indicators for inflation,

we count everything and core inflation separately, we count tariffs separately, fruit products separately, we count 713 products separately for each month on a weekly basis every month we see that the citizen will be able to get acquainted with this, well , this will not give the citizen anything, for him, the main thing for him is that the product came to the store yesterday, so that it is available and that it is at an affordable price, our task as a government agency is for everyone together, and note it.

oh yes, those high-quality products and , accordingly, voluminous productive products , i agree with you that today technology plays a big role, but with its strict observance, we have issues with compliance with technology, but in the year of quality, the year of quality will be announced , i think, you’ll do a good job on this, hello, well, i

think that we don’t have any problems with quality, well, i’m telling the truth, it’s a banal folk one. mechanism - this is also a competitive advantage of our products, since the consumer, having been burned once by quality, in your example, you probably won’t buy it a second time, and we, working today in an open world economy, understand that if once someone somewhere doesn’t like us, then the second time they won’t communicate with us on this issue, but maybe we, in principle, will become no longer interesting, so today we are creating

more and more advanced production technologies in terms of quality. but taking into account those raw materials components of that technological already historically established structure, today we do not go anywhere away from quality, quality taste, this can be put as an equal sign, or you know, quality taste can be equalized, but at the same time, today we know many examples, when flavor enhancers, additives and improvers can create any taste, but at the same time in asian restaurants, sodium costs a lot on the table.

the lines don’t end , and you know, that’s how it is again, look how poor belarusians are, what cars they come in, what lines they stand in, god bless you belarusians, good cars, good lines and great shops , happy new year, well, next year this year has been declared the year of quality in belarus , so i hope that we will work efficiently not only on the quality of products, but also on the implementation of all technological and technical aspects, in general, on ourselves, as it turned out, we... we can do everything and we can’t even meet the expectations of spiteful critics and become stronger. see you next year.

their life.

and more fun, i have two folk groups , gryamota and dobroslavochka, good afternoon to you hato, we know that you have great sacredness, hard work, resourcefulness, passion, the main quality of these people, this is our tool of labor, this is how our ancestors did it, it turns out we can throw berries on both sides, before there were shinies in every house, it could be from laza sleep, it could be from berasta, so i found my grandfather’s old shinya.
