Lukashenko calls to match housing policy to needs of manufacturing sector

MINSK, 22 April (BelTA) - Housing in Belarus should be built primarily to meet the needs of the manufacturing sector, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said during his working trip to Shklov on 22 April, BelTA has learned.

In his words, the focus will be placed on rental housing for employees of enterprises. This will also contribute to the development of regions and avoid overpopulation of Minsk and other big cities.

“We will need to build housing here [in Shklov] to attract specialists. It is necessary to make it cheaper, to bring the construction complex in order. We need rental housing for people. If we are talking about regional development, it should be developed in this way. We should not build these houses in Minsk... We will build a certain number of houses there under obligations for the military, large families, others,” Aleksandr Lukashenko said. “We will build housing primarily to meet the needs of production facilities that earn money for the country.”

Aleksandr Lukashenko does not rule out the construction of rental housing in Minsk to meet the needs of enterprises.
