September 25, Minsk /BELTA correspondent/. The Government of Belarus has approved targets for sectoral ministries and concerns to fulfil specific indicators of the forecast for the socio-economic development of Belarus for September-December 2012. This decision was made by Resolution of the Council of Ministers No. 849 of September 15, 2012, as reported to BELTA correspondent by the press service of the Belarusian government. The document has been adopted with the aim of eliminating the existing backlog and ensuring the unconditional fulfilment of the most important parameters of the socio-economic development forecast for Belarus for 2012. Targets have been set for sectoral ministries and concerns to achieve planned growth rates in industrial production volumes for January-December 2012 at the level of 107.5%. To this end, for January-September, industry must ensure a growth rate of 106.8% compared to the same period last year, for January-October - 107%, for January-November - 107.3%. Targets have also been set for reducing the material intensity of industrial products. Thus, for the Ministry of Industry, whose enterprises have currently increased material intensity, the task has been set to reduce it to 0% over nine months, and then reduce it by 1-0.5% each month, with the indicator to be minus 2.5% by the end of the year. According to the Ministry of Industry, material intensity decreased significantly by 11% in 2011, so this year, considering this base, as well as the exchange rate difference compared to last year, this indicator is plus 4%. Targets for September-December 2012 have also been set for revenue from the sale of products, goods, works, and services per average listed employee. In such economic activities as the production of coke, petroleum products, and nuclear materials, revenue should increase from Br4.758 billion for nine months to Br6.416 billion in January-December. In chemical production, this indicator needs to be increased from Br841.3 million in January-September to Br1.134 billion by the end of the year, in metallurgy - from Br550.6 million to Br742.6 million, in the food industry - from Br619.6 million to Br835.8 million.
