MINSK, 26 May (BelTA) – Investment activity in Belarus remains at a high level,
BelTA reports citing the macroeconomic review of the Eurasian Development Bank.
Belarus' GDP grew by 2.8% in January-April following a 3.1% increase in January-March 2025. The GDP growth slowed down due to deceleration in the manufacturing industry, the EDB noted. Meanwhile, economic sectors that are focused on domestic consumption continue to show robust growth: retail turnover went up by 10%, and catering expanded by 4.8%.
“Investment activity remains at a high level: in January-April 2025 investment grew by 15%. It is largely attributed to a 21.2% increase in equipment purchases,” the bank remarked.
