Svetlana Sheveleva began her presentation with a quote from the President of the Republic of Belarus, Alexander Lukashenko: "For three decades now, a socially oriented economy has been the foundation of our state policy. This policy is successful. The people support it. According to all indicators characterizing social equality, Belarus is among the most prosperous countries... Therefore, it is the economy that ensures the social security of citizens that is the main target of the West."
Despite unprecedented sanctions pressure, the Belarusian economy is showing growth: industrial production has increased, inflation has decreased, and the monetary income of the population has grown.
