MINSK, 6 February (BelTA) – In 2026 Belstat will transition to a new classification of economic activities and will calculate GDP according to the updated 2025 System of National Accounts approved by the United Nations Statistical Commission, Chairwoman of the National Statistical Committee Belstat Inna Medvedeva told the media before a Belstat board meeting on the priorities of work this year, BelTA has learned.

“This will allow us to evaluate intangible assets such as databases and the digital economy. We are collaborating with the High-Tech Park and the National Bank, planning an experimental GDP calculation by 2028,” she said.

In addition, the seventh round of the Multiple Indicator Cluster Survey on the status of children and women will be launched: Belstat is preparing the research instruments this year, with fieldwork set to begin in 2027.

“We will continue our work with government agencies on administrative data. We have requested checklists and are preparing a catalog of indicators to identify redundancies,” the Belstat head noted.
