increased by 18%. the same is observed in construction, construction increased by more than 6%. it should be noted that the main system-forming industries, in addition to those that i named, are trade, transport, information and communications, which are already providing significant growth. if we talk about the income of belarusians, today we can afford more than a year earlier. certainly more. we calculate such an indicator as real disposable money. income for the first half of the year in comparable prices, they increased by 9.6%. the main components of this indicator are wages and pensions, respectively, wages for the first half of the year, compared with the corresponding period last year increased by 13%. pensions increased in real terms by 10.8%. accordingly, retail turnover is growing very good quality.

why such a level of inflation is low - this is naturally the influence of seasonal goods, such as vegetables and fruits, for example, our traditional, what the republic of belarus grows, potatoes, beets, onions have become cheaper onions, this is cabbage, this is naturally tomatoes, in addition to this, buckwheat, tea, shoes, cars have become cheaper, from services medical services, as of today?

this is a very good indicator, of course we strive for even more, but nevertheless we understand that today we are the main source of information in the country. now we will break for a short advertisement, then, will the country have enough of its own electricity? stay with us.

every day we work to ensure that you receive the latest and most useful information, the twenty-minute format allows us tell about what is happening in belarus and the world, take a linguistic walk in the company of our guides, and find a new place on the map of belarus. which is definitely worth

seeing, and also offer projects and films that will certainly become your favorites, this and much more, you are waiting for ... in the project broadcast 24x7 watch on the belarus24 tv channel. this is an area of ​​​​interest, and we continue, now the results of trading on the belarusian currency and stock exchange, we will tell you how the rates have changed, the dollar has become cheaper, the u.s. is not russian. have risen in price. so, the us dollar costs 3 rubles 20 kopecks. the euro is now 3.56 at the national bank rate. they are asking 4.51 for 10 yuan. 100 russian rubles cost 3.52. the total volume of electricity consumption in belarus last year

exceeded 41 billion kw. this is the maximum in the entire modern history of the country. and the demand for electricity continues to grow. by 2030 , it is projected to reach 47 billion. due to what consumption is growing and whether belarus is ready to cover its energy needs, we asked the relevant minister denis moroz. denis ravilievich, what share today in the country's energy balance , does nuclear energy occupy exactly? in november 2023 , work on the construction of the belarusian nuclear power plant was completed. since then, it has been fully operational in the energy balance, its capacity is such that it allows generating about 18 billion kilowatt-hours of electricity per year, and this will amount to about 40% of the total electricity consumption in the country. at the moment, according to the results

of last year, the share of the nuclear power plant has approached 30%, this year this figure is already about 40%. is the entire electricity today. is in demand, that's one, and secondly, we see from the statistics that energy consumption in the country is growing due to what? the nuclear power plant, when it was planned when it was built, it was planned for domestic consumption in the republic of belarus, its purpose was to satisfy the growing need for electricity consumption within the country. thanks to the commissioning of the nuclear power plant, we have completely abandoned the import of electricity outside the republic. belarus, at the moment, all electricity generated at the nuclear power plant is consumed in the country. indeed, we are now seeing a fairly intensive growth in electricity consumption. this is due to the fact that at the level of the head of state, at the level of the government, a large

number of measures have been taken to stimulate the growth of electricity consumption. for example, in 2023 , the growth in electricity consumption amounted to more than 2.5 billion kilowatt-hours. the same dynamics and the same trend in... you know that in our country there are tariffs aimed at stimulating use of electric energy by the population for heating and hot water supply. over the past few years, since 2019, the annual growth rate of electricity consumption by the population for heating and hot water supply has

been around 40%. and this year , it already amounted to 650 million kilowatt-hours. i think that we will finish 2024 at the same rate. and we will be close to the figure of about a billion kilowatt-hours, of course, we are seeing significant changes in the use of electricity in transport, in the number of electric vehicles is rapidly increasing in the country, the number of filling stations is growing, including thanks again to incentive tariffs, which are aimed at using electric energy for electric vehicles. in the country at the moment the number of electric vehicles is approaching 15,000 electric vehicles, over the past year the rate of simple number of electric vehicles exceeded almost 200%, that is, almost twice in a year we have increased, the same high rates are maintained this year, the growth quite significant, for the development of electric transport we are taking a number of measures aimed at the use of electricity

by public transport, you know that two pilot projects have been implemented in the country, this is in shklov in zhodino, where all public transport in these settlements has been transferred to electric traction and. at the moment , more projects are being developed to transfer entire settlements to electricity supply, all this together gives the fact that the growth of electricity consumption in the country is quite significant, of course, at the moment it's high time...

that's all the information for today, good luck with your deals and productivity in business, we're on air every tuesday, wednesday and thursday with the most notable in the economy, see you there.

we change, the teachers go to the main site, and the kids go to the teachers' room to support them, we came up with a great idea, we 'll prove that belarusian cuisine is not only draniki, we'll cook something new, something i've never tried, never seen, the name of this something is very funny, say: bourgeois, lantulets, the most important thing, remember, the sturgeon is juicy, but not fatty, so... the dish can safely be called dietary very useful. let's learn more about the historical past of belarusians. in ancient times, only men had the right to weave slutsk belts. there is a reasonable justification for this: the work was physically very hard and one had to have remarkable endurance to weave a belt. let's show what people eat in different parts of our country. i approached

the locals and asked: what dish can be considered a symbol of the city? they said: yes , there is one, it's a slonim-style drumstick, the sweetness is incredible, and then a very pleasant aftertaste begins and a banana in this the situation perfectly complements the chicken and as a result decorates our slush potato pancake, watch the project food at least where on the belarus24 tv channel. our enterprise was founded in 1967, it is now one of the leaders in the fishing industry. and tell me, what is the main fish you grow in general? the main fish is carp. the specific weight of carp is about 80%. we also grow silver carp, grass carp, catfish and pike. yeah. that is, you

are already growing from small eggs, we grow from eggs to commercial fish. how much in general? there is fish here, we, so, look, about 1.00 tons is commercial fish, about 450, somewhere this is fish planting material, 450 tons, tons, wow, this is a lot, the volumes of fish grown here, it is possible to feed not only all of belarus, but the whole world. lili, please tell me, how many people work here in general?
