From trust to cooperation

Export is one of the main development priorities of the Belarusian economy. In its structure, it traditionally accounts for more than half of the gross domestic product, being one of the main sources to ensure sustainable economic growth in the country. Foreign trade in the Republic of Belarus has undergone certain structural transformation during the post-crisis period of world trade development. Today, a course has been taken to increase the share of science-intensive, high-tech products in the structure of export, diversification of deliveries to new markets. Belarus has traditionally pursued a multi-vector foreign economic policy, maintaining foreign trade contacts with the majority of foreign countries and taking an active part in international integration processes. Fundamental changes in foreign trade associated with Belarus' participation in the Eurasian Economic Union, the formation of a common common economic space, and forthcoming accession to the World Trade Organization are the most important developments, which have a significant impact on the conditions for export activities. How are these tasks and related issues dealt with in practice today? This study is about that.
