MINSK, 10 November (BelTA) – An “investment map” will be prepared as an annex to Belarus’ socio-economic development program for 2026-2030, Head of the Belarus President Administration Dmitry Krutoi told journalists following a meeting with the head of state, BelTA reports.
“A crucial element, alongside foreign trade, is investment. Securing resources for new projects is difficult, given our need to service the financial obligations from previous investment projects in the coming five-year period, all without increasing the overall level of our public and external gross debt. An idea has been proposed and upheld today: to develop a comprehensive investment supplement for the five-year plan. It could be termed an “investment map”,” the head of the Belarus President Administration said.
Dmitry Krutoi explained that this ‘investment map’ will detail the planned projects for each region. “The president insisted that residents of every district must be able to see what investment and infrastructure projects will be implemented in their specific area. Ideally, with specific funding and project costs fixed for the entire five-year term, regardless of any ‘objective’ circumstances,” he elaborated. “Citizens will see what roads, social facilities, or industrial enterprises will be built in a specific locality.”
“This will allow us to begin planning the deployment of our productive forces in a completely new way. And perhaps we will be able to reverse the negative trend of internal migration between our regions and create high-productivity jobs evenly throughout Belarus,” added Dmitry Krutoi.
