MINSK, 3 May (BelTA) – Belarus needs enterprises operating without constant budget injections, Belarus President Alexander Lukashenko said at a government session held on 3 May to discuss Belarus' social and economic development, BelTA has learned.
“The government is going to continue providing state support to enterprises. Of course, some of them need support. However, the main thing is the goals that can be accomplished with this support. If it is provided for current needs, we should not even begin this conversation today. We have not felt the full effects of the previous support yet. We need enterprises operating without constant budget injections. We have been used to taking money from teachers and doctors and sponsoring the companies that must earn and provide money to the budget themselves,” Alexander Lukashenko said.
“We cannot provide budget support to all factories. For example, we have supported the modernization of many enterprises, and now their economy should be independent and return the investments,” the head of state said.
