“Export to the Russian Federation grew 1.4 times.

This is a very good result for the industry of the Republic of Belarus as a whole,” RIA Novosti quotes him.

According to him, for the first time in history, Belarus received a positive balance in trade with Russia.

The Deputy Prime Minister drew attention to the fact that when foreign companies left the Russian market, new opportunities opened up for Belarusian industrial enterprises.

In December, Belarusian Prime Minister Roman Golovchenko said that Belarusian exports to Russia in 2022 could reach a record $22-23 billion.
