MINSK, 17 January (BelTA) – As he summed up economy performance in 2024, Prime Minister of Belarus Roman Golovchenko explained by how much investments in Belarus increased last year, BelTA has learned.
In addition to the GDP investments and their structure represent an important quality indicator of the economy, Roman Golovchenko noted. “On the whole, while the growth target stands at 3.9%, investments increased by exactly 8%,” the prime minister said.
He stressed that after a certain downturn at the beginning of the five-year term the outstripping growth of investments in the GDP has been in place for two years in a row. “Over the course of one year the share of investments rose by 1 percentage point. The stock of finished products went down significantly. The payment discipline improved. The currency market is now balanced. It is important that for the second year in a row nearly all the indicators of the economy have been above targets,” Roman Golovchenko noted.
As for revenues of the population, according to the head of government, the task to secure the growth rate of the real disposable income at 103.5% looked rather hard to accomplish at the beginning of the year. “But we’ve managed to do better and the actual [growth rate of] the real disposable income of the population reached 109.5%. In other words, we gained 9.5%,” he stressed.
