Industrial slowdown in Belarus

President Lukashenko: indicators are falling

According to Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko, the country's industrial sector in 2026 continues to show negative dynamics. Overall, for the entire 2025 period, a negative trend of 98.2% was recorded. In January 2026, another spike is expected—a decline of 3.4%. On the key Russian market, the Ministry of Industry failed to reach the planned 1 million dollars last year, and its enterprises are in the 'red' zone. The figure is being carefully checked, but there is no official confirmation yet.
