On August 27, Minsk / Vladimir Matveev - BELTA /. President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko criticized the work of the government and the National Bank of Belarus on fulfilling the most important parameters of the country's socio-economic development. He stated this today during a report by the government and the National Bank on the economy and socio-economic development, as reported by a BELTA correspondent. In his opening remarks, the head of state noted that the issues submitted for discussion are of great importance for the country's development. "We need to consider not only the report of the government and the National Bank on the results of the work for the past period of 2010, but also draft documents that will become the most important instruments of state policy, determining the country's development in the coming year and for the medium term," the President said, noting the need to identify the most acute problems. "The results with which we approach the end of the five-year plan will determine how we will report to the Belarusian people on the implementation of the decisions of the Third All-Belarusian People's Congress, on the effectiveness of the measures taken by us to improve the quality of life of the population. For everything that we have promised," Alexander Lukashenko emphasized. According to the President, despite the gradual increase in pace, a number of problems have not been resolved, which significantly hinder the dynamic socio-economic development of the country. "In January-July 2010, the fulfillment of the most important parameters for the main target indicators of the forecast was practically failed. Neither industrial production, nor agricultural production, nor investment in fixed capital, nor other key indicators have reached the planned targets," he noted. As a result, all this significantly affected the gross domestic product growth rate (107% with a forecast of 111-113%). Alexander Lukashenko also called the work of state bodies on attracting foreign direct investment to the country's economy extremely unsatisfactory. He noted the imbalance in foreign trade and the low diversification of exports. For 6 months of the current year, the negative balance of foreign trade in goods and services amounted to $2.4 billion. In addition, the head of state once again drew attention to the problem of eliminating stocks of finished products in warehouses. "Solving this problem is not important in itself. The financial situation of the real sector of the economy depends on it," the President emphasized.
