how to consolidate this dynamics, what other obstacles hinder development, what needs to be unified within the framework of integration. on the agenda are exchange trading, government procurement and digitalization. our correspondent svetlana lukinyuk will tell you more about this. she spent these few days in yerevan and keeps her finger on the pulse of all the events. the main ideology of the ias is industrial cooperation. it is necessary to launch a subsidy program by the end of the year. the official insists on this. minsk needs new projects to obtain new goods, and materials. yes, the eurasian union is 10 years old, it was created as a space of four freedoms, this is the movement of goods, services, capital and labor. the declared principles did not work immediately, but everyone needed time. and today the topic of barriers that hinder equal access and equal rights remains on the agenda of the meetings of the five. speaking of barriers, almost 70 of them have been removed in 10 years. one of the proposals at the forum is to calculate how these

restrictions affect mutual trade. today, by the way, the exchange of goods in the five is not only through dealers of official representatives. marketplaces are coming to the forefront. experts say that about 50% of clothes in the ias next year will be sold on such platforms. the market power of these players is growing, it is important to create legal mechanisms. of course, many questions arise here that were brought up for discussion. these are questions of protection.

also, at the forum in yerevan, they separately talked about tourism belarus is among the top places where guests come for weekends and to relax in sanatoriums, but at the same time it is important to open and new routes within the top five, especially since each country has something to show and talk about. the dialogue of tourism industry experts confirmed the interest in learning more. huge, we are within the framework of the ias, in principle, within the framework of the entire new large macroregion, which can be characterized as from the pacific ocean to the persian gulf and a sharp border with the european union. belarus is quite attractive, in demand, a unique special site. due to what? due to the natural factor, due to historical, cultural-european, very good logistics links primarily with moscow and the capitals of the ias. the forum noted the main thing. in 2023, the volume of mutual trade

in cooperative goods exceeded $ 30 billion, while the share of settlements in national currencies is also growing, at the end of last year this figure reached 90%. svetlana lukinyuk, alexey yunosh, area of ​​​​interest. belarus was included in the ratings for the distribution of electric transport. we have already noted that in the cis countries, even brics are leading positions. everything is actually logical, belarus has ensured its energy independence. electricity consumption, green transport - one of the directions. at the same time, belarus is developing another one - this is the market of gas motor fuel. there is interest in joint projects from russia. the lobby is obvious, natural gas as a raw material of the neighboring country is in abundance. we, for our part, can and do produce a wide range of cars running on gas, but not only. undoubtedly, there is, perhaps, the main competitive advantage of such fuel - it is the price, it is cheaper. many companies use this. connections.

so, why do we not refuse to develop market of gas motor fuel, wouldn't it be more logical to concentrate efforts on further promotion of electric transport for obvious reasons? the republic of belarus is closely monitoring the trends in the energy markets. as for the use of gas motor fuel, we clearly see the positive dynamics in the world in this direction. we see that at the moment gas motor fuel is used in more than 80 countries of the world, we see expert forecasts that by 2030 the share of gas motor fuel in the total balance will reach 10%. this indicates that many countries are currently switching to the use of this type of fuel quite intensively. the republic of belarus

is not in the country and since 1984 this type of fuel has been developing in the republic as an energy source. the first autogas filling station was built, namely, which was produced for... refueling with compressed natural gas, since then the number of filling stations has increased, currently there are 28, their total productivity exceeds 200 million m3 per year. the loading of these stations, according to our information, is about 60-63 million m3 per year, and this indicates that there is quite a large potential for the use of natural gas as an energy source for internal combustion engines in the republic of belarus, we... of course, we are very closely monitoring these trends, the emergence of new equipment that will operate on compressed gas and the scope of its application for the republic of belarus. what do you see as the main areas of work, if it is concentrated, what is the focus? the main direction,

of course, for us will be the use of this transport in trunk transportation, that is, along the main roads, systemically important, for example, today these. the road from moscow to brest and from st. petersburg to gomel is fully provided with these filling stations, that is, along the republic of belarus we have quite serious transport highways provided with this type of fuel. you are absolutely right that in addition to natural gas, of course, for us one of the priorities is the development of electric transport. at the level of the head of state, at the level of the government , many incentive measures have been taken that are aimed at increasing the number of electric vehicles in the country. and the republic of belarus is constantly in search of such a balance of development of those areas that will bring the greatest economic and environmental effect for the residents of our country. and how can the construction of a plant for the production of electric vehicles change the situation?

liquefied gas in velikiy kamen? well , it is a relatively new direction, it is a high-tech direction, it is the construction of plants for the production of liquefied natural gas. until now, in the republic. in belarus, such production has never been, at the moment one of the options is being worked out - this is the construction of such a plant on the territory of the industrial park velikiy kamen. here it should be noted that, of course, for us this will be a certain technological leap forward, that is, this is the emergence of new technologies in country, and this will create a new industry, this will create the possibility of using precisely liquefied natural gas for use in transport, and here we are talking not only about... about the fact that it will be used on some main roads, but in general it can also be used by the population, as far as the use of liquefied natural gas is concerned, we see a certain potential in this , a certain demand, why? because the costs of liquefied natural gas as a fuel for - transport, they are lower for

consumer, including taking into account operating costs, that is, on the life cycle of the entire use of transport. another very important aspect is, of course, for our industry, the fact is that at the present moment the industry of the republic of belarus, such giants as belas, gomsilmash, maz mtz, are already producing equipment that runs on liquefied natural gas, at the present moment in order to run in this transport, in order to adjust it, we supply this liquefied natural gas to the country we are starting, if this plant appears on our territory, then it will be our liquefied natural gas, which will be used at these - thank you, denis moroz, deputy minister of energy, was in touch with us, we talked about the prospects for the development of gas motor fuel in belarus. this is an area of ​​interest and we continue. now to

the exchange rates: the belarusian ruble strengthened against the yuan and weakened against the dollar and the russian ruble following the results of trading on the currency and stock exchange. so, the dollar costs 3 rubles 22 kopecks. the euro has become cheaper, its rate is 3.50. 7. for 10 yuan they ask for 4.63 belarusian, and for 100 russian - 3 rubles 48 kopecks. today, the ministry of industry and trade organizations supply products to 60 countries around the world. new directions are a priority. not to be limited to traditional markets, to seek to find new partners, regardless of the distance. this is how our machines reach even distant countries. the quality of our equipment is known in asia, africa and latin america. sustainable operation of industry is today's number one task. it is this industry that accounts for a quarter of of our gdp. external challenges have only heightened interest in implementing our know-how, close cooperation with russian partners, and expansion.

industry is the locomotive of the economy of belarus and beyond, we are the best among the five eu countries, all thanks to the fact that we have preserved the soviet legacy and are successfully developing it today. mtz and gomselmash, brands that the whole world knows. as for the future. today , you won’t surprise anyone with electric or unmanned transport, working in a market environment, you need to analyze what

the client will need tomorrow, and not forget, that technology should benefit people, tourist buses, mobile shops, ambulances and mobile fap, all this with the mark, made in belarus, in fact, this is a paramedic-obstetric station on wheels, it can serve the population in absolutely any point of our country, and conceptually we have put the comfort of doctors at the forefront, good.

specific results, over the past decades, the ministry of industry has already

shown record indicators in terms of production volumes, in the export of its products, on we are not going to stop at this, the dynamics are also positive this year, and we are already forecasting and planning for the next year with positive growth rates. russia remains the main trading partner, joint projects on import substitution are in work, the future of our industry is in union technologies. an industry that provides jobs for tens of thousands of people and benefits the entire country. anton malyuta and anatoly dolotovsky, area of ​​interest. and that's all for today, watch us on the first information channel four times a week, with monday through thursday. good luck to you in your endeavors and see you soon.
