MINSK, 22 October (BelTA) – The Development Bank of the Republic of Belarus will take over assets of basic woodworking industry enterprises.

Sergei Rumas said that in accordance with presidential decree No. 257 of 24 June 2015 the Development Bank had arranged an independent audit of the business plans of all the nine basic woodworking industry enterprises. The audit produced three positive conclusions in favor of taking over the management of assets of three enterprises — OAO Mostovdrev, OAO Vitebskdrev, and RUPP Novosverzhensky Lesozavod (Novy Sverzhen timber mill).
