On June 21, Minsk / BELTA correspondent. President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko received a report from Prime Minister Mikhail Myasnikovich on June 21. The Head of State was informed about the state of the country's economy and plans for the development of certain sectors, BELTA was informed by the press service of the Belarusian leader. Alexander Lukashenko inquired about how the government is addressing the task of achieving a GDP growth of 5.5% in 2012. "In this regard, I am concerned about and interested in the problem of inflation. What kind of inflation do we have, what does it consist of, what are the objective reasons? Can we achieve lower inflation than planned? Because the price increase continues to concern our people," the Head of State noted. Another block of issues that the President raised with the Prime Minister concerned ensuring the growth of the population's income. Alexander Lukashenko asked Mikhail Myasnikovich to assess the state of affairs in the export sector, especially regarding the unorganized export of products. "After all, the price difference still exists and is quite significant for certain groups of goods with other states. What are the dynamics, trends, and how dangerous is this?" the Head of State asked. According to the Prime Minister, "the Belarusian economy is working stably, and the incomes of the population are growing." "The task of reaching an average salary of Br4-4.1 million is not easy, but we will strive to achieve it," Mikhail Myasnikovich noted, stating that state employees are currently lagging somewhat in terms of income levels. The President instructed that from August 1 and in October of the current year, the tariff rate of the first category should be increased. This will allow for an increase in the wages of state-funded sector employees. Taking into account the growth in sales profitability and labor productivity, the incomes of workers in industrial and agricultural enterprises will also increase. The Head of State was also informed about the government's approaches to economic development in 2013, and in particular, to housing construction and agriculture. This year, the volume of investments and state support measures for agriculture is estimated at Br30 trillion. By the end of 2012, it is planned to commission 105-110 new and modernize 1.2 thousand existing dairy farms. "In two years, we will actually commission dairy farm capacities that were commissioned over the entire previous five-year period," Mikhail Myasnikovich noted.
