Lukashenko Named "the Biggest Problem In Belarus Today"

She's connected to Russia.

The biggest problem today for Belarus is to find new markets for domestic products, which we can't sell "due to certain, objective reasons" in Russia. This was said by Alexander Lukashenko at a meeting with the chairman of the "House of Representatives" Igor Sergeenko.

Alexander Lukashenko noted the recent visit of the speaker of the lower house of parliament to Vietnam, where they talked about the possibilities of cooperation with BELAZ and Belshina, among others. He noted that "we should slowly enter" the markets of the "far arc".

- You feel and know that this is the biggest problem in Belarus today - to replace the volume that we can't sell today due to certain objective reasons in the Russian Federation, and we should work on the far arc track in this regard," Lukashenko emphasized.

In this context, the usurper emphasized the correctness of the course of cooperation with Vietnam. According to Lukashenko's press service, "the basis for interaction is created by friendly ties, established since the times of the Soviet Union and contacts at the highest level, good relations between the leaders of the two countries."

"We met with the president [of Vietnam] in China. I have known him for a long time, a very strong decent person. Moreover, both he and the country are aimed at cooperation with us," said Lukashenko.

He added that in the near future, together with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the issue of exchange visits will be considered.

Reminder, in October 2024, the Board of Directors of the Bank of Russia decided to raise the key rate to 21.00% per annum. The regulator explained its actions by the need to curb the growing inflation.

"Inflation is significantly higher than the July forecast of the Bank of Russia. Inflation expectations continue to increase. The growth of domestic demand significantly outstrips the possibility of expanding the supply of goods and services," the Russian Central Bank explained in a statement.

The high key rate makes loans in banks too expensive, they are not taken by businesses and households, and this reduces demand, the BBC Russian Service explained.
