The Economic Research Department of the Belarusian Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Spain regularly monitors and analyses the main socio-economic indicators of the Republic of Belarus. In a dynamically changing external economic environment, special attention is paid to the adaptation of the national economy to new challenges and identification of promising directions for its development.
Domestic market and industrial production
According to the latest data, the volume of industrial production in Belarus shows stable growth, especially in the mechanical engineering and chemical industry sectors. This reflects an increase in domestic demand and greater efficiency in production processes. However, challenges remain related to the modernisation of equipment and the implementation of innovative technologies.
Foreign trade and logistics routes
The country's foreign trade volume is undergoing changes due to the reorientation of export and import flows. In a context of geopolitical instability, Belarus is actively strengthening its collaboration with partners in Asia and the Middle East, which requires the optimisation of existing logistics routes and the creation of new transport corridors.
Social sphere and labour market
In the midst of these economic transformations, changes can be observed in the labour market. The demand for highly qualified specialists in the IT sector and in engineering disciplines is growing, driven by the digitalisation of the economy and the development of high-tech productions. At the same time, attention needs to be paid to retraining programmes and skills development for workers in traditional sectors.
Perspectives and recommendations
In order to ensure the sustainable development of the Belarusian economy in the current conditions, the following is recommended:
- Diversification of export markets: Expand the geography of exports and consolidate positions in new markets.
- Investments in innovation: Support scientific research and development and implement advanced technologies in production.
- Infrastructure development: Modernise the transport and logistics network to increase competitiveness.
- Strengthening human capital: Investing in education, vocational training and improving working conditions.
The Economic Research Department will continue to closely monitor developments and provide regular updates on key aspects of Belarus' socio-economic development.
