Lukashenko: Every invested ruble should come back tenfold

SHKLOV, 9 August (BelTA) — It is necessary to improve technological and executive discipline before asking for money for the development of agricultural production, Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko said at a meeting in Shklov on 9 August, BelTA has learned.

The president warned that no mistakes should be made while implementing programs and decisions on the development of agricultural production: "Because a huge amount of money is at stake. And we have no extra money.”

Aleksandr Lukashenko emphasized that, for example, agricultural complexes had been built in Orsha District and this experience can be and should be replicated in Shklov District. “There is this foundation. It is necessary to follow this trend. We have already exhausted the potential of obvious solutions and earned $8 billion in exports. It is a large amount of money, no other economy branch gives so much. All of that has been exhausted. It is now necessary to focus on technologies. Technological discipline and executive discipline should be prioritized. Without this, don't even start investing in it. That is why before asking for money, applying to banks, to the government, and especially to me, prove that every ruble you invest will come back tenfold," the Belarusian leader said.
