Lukashenko: Belarus’ development program until 2030 must be effective, realistic

MINSK, 10 November (BelTA) – Belarus’ socio-economic development program for 2026-2030 must be comprehensive, effective, and realistic, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said at a meeting to finalize the program, BelTA has learned.

“We need to prepare a high-quality and truly effective program! Based on realistic projects, our real- life experience, and available resources,” the Belarusian leader said.

Aleksandr Lukashenko recalled that in the summer, the government had developed the concept for the upcoming five-year plan. A number of priorities were proposed, reflecting public demand and included in the president’s election program. Among them are digitalization of the economy, strong regions, roads and transport infrastructure, affordable housing, quality mobile communication, tourism, higher standards of living.

“There are also pressing economic issues in areas with high development potential that could drive growth: increasing technological sophistication of production, boosting investment activity of enterprises, reducing all types of costs, raising labor productivity, and more,” he said.

The head of state noted that within a month, the document must be submitted to the Belarusian People’s Congress: “This is a matter of our strategy, primarily socio-economic development. All issues are reflected there. Therefore, delegates of the Belarusian People’s Congress must review this program and adopt it in accordance with the Constitution.”

“It is important now to make correct project decisions and present them to the delegates. After discussion, possible revisions, and approval, the five-year program will become binding law for all state bodies and organizations. What we write down and what is adopted at the Belarusian People’s Congress must be strictly implemented. State and regional programs, as well as annual forecasts and other documents, must fully correspond to decisions of the Belarusian People’s Congress. Adjustments or changes to the country’s development directions will only be possible through decisions of this representative congress,” he said.
