PM: Economies of Belarus, Russia have passed a serious stress test

MOSCOW 15 April (BelTA) – The economies of Belarus and Russia have passed a serious stress test, Belarus’ Prime Minister Roman Golovchenko said during the talks with his Russian counterpart Mikhail Mishustin in Moscow on 15 April, BelTA has learned.

“We are doing quite well on the domestic and foreign markets against all odds. Indeed, our countries have showed serious resilience in the face of challenges; our economies have passed a serious stress test. As a result, last year, GDP in both Russia and Belarus grew by up to 4%, which is no small feat,” said Roman Golovchenko.

“The resilience that our economies have built is quite significant. The number one task for our governments now is to keep coordinating and collaborating in order to address common challenges,” added the prime minister of Belarus.
