and the new privatization program
Favorable investment policy
The government of Belarus is taking a number of measures aimed at improving the investment climate.
Favorable investment policy along with natural advantages of Belarus and existing economic opportunities
resulted in steady growth of FDI. Another significant indicator is an increasing quantity of organizations with
foreign investments. On the other hand the role of enterprises with foreign capital in Belarusian economy is
constantly growing. That also stimulates the Government to take proactive measures in the field of
investment policy.
Unique privatization opportunities
Belarus provides foreign companies with unique opportunities of speedy development of their business
related to stepping up the privatization process in the country. Today around 70% of industrial production
falls within the governmental sector in the country. Unlike Russia, other CIS and Eastern Europe countries,
Belarus has preserved the largest national companies in state ownership, which has enabled to ensure their
full-scale support and, as a result, to increase their manufacturing potential and international
competitiveness significantly. Today the National Agency of Investment and Privatization, jointly with the
World Bank, introduces modern approaches and instruments corresponding to the advanced international
practice. They are aimed at establishing more open privatization conditions understandable to foreign
countries in Belarus.
