The social orientation of the budget in Belarus will be maintained despite financial difficulties. This was stated in an interview with journalists by Deputy Prime Minister Natalya Kochanova, as reported by a BELTA correspondent.

Continuing the policy aimed at supporting socially vulnerable segments of the population will be one of the priorities in the work of the Deputy Prime Minister, said Natalya Kochanova. "The tasks facing us have been very clearly formulated by the Head of State, Alexander Lukashenko, who emphasized that the most important thing is care for people and justice," she noted.

Among the areas of social policy that, according to the Deputy Prime Minister, are paramount today, are primarily support for families raising children and demographic security. "We will continue to work (both myself and my colleagues) to ensure that the socially oriented state remains so. That people who need support receive it," assured the Deputy Prime Minister. This primarily concerns people with disabilities, the elderly, children, and large families. "We must undoubtedly continue to work in this direction; we cannot abandon it under any circumstances," Natalya Kochanova is convinced. At the same time, there should be no dependency. "If we want to enjoy the benefits that the state provides, then we must work for them," emphasized the Deputy Prime Minister.
