26 October, Novolukoml / Diana Kurilo - BELTA/. Chairman of the State Control Committee of Belarus Alexander Yakobson proposes to abandon the dollarization of the Belarusian economy. He expressed his point of view today at a meeting with the work collective of OJSC "Keramzit Gravel Plant of Novolukoml", BELTA correspondent reports. According to Alexander Yakobson, Belarus should consider the experience of the Russian Federation, where officials speak of any amounts only in the national currency. "We must respect our currency and switch to it exclusively in settlements," believes the head of the control department. Alexander Yakobson is convinced that the problems currently experienced by the Belarusian economy are temporary. "There are no unsolvable problems in Belarus," he stressed. The questions that the enterprise workers asked the high-ranking official concerned the problem of training and retaining young personnel in small towns, organizing leisure activities for youth, and lighting city streets in Novolukoml. Alexander Yakobson answered all the questions and criticized the local authorities for sometimes forgetting about people's daily needs while focusing on production tasks. "We need to meet with people, delve into their problems and solve them," he added.-0-
