Golovchenko: We’ll have to work hard to achieve economic goals for 2026

MINSK, 16 October (BelTA) – We will have to work hard to fulfill the key economic tasks for 2026, Chairman of the Board of the National Bank of Belarus Roman Golovchenko said following a meeting with Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko to discuss draft forecast documents for 2026, BelTA has learned.

According to Roman Golovchenko, the key social and economic development indicators specified in the draft decree of the head of state discussed at the meeting may seem at first glance not very demanding, as they are lower than in previous years. “But there are reasons for this: the difficult international situation, trade wars, and a significant slowdown in the Russian economy, our main trading partner. Against this background, the tasks look quite challenging,” he said.

“We will have to work hard to fulfill the set tasks, even if it may not seem that difficult. But in fact, even the most advanced economies grow at almost the same pace,” Roman Golovchenko stressed.
