Market Trend and Outlook
Belarus’s economic outlook for 2024 indicates moderate growth, with GDP projected to expand by approximately 4%, supported by strong consumer demand and low unemployment, though labor shortages have increased wage pressures. Inflation remains elevated, with consumer prices expected to rise between 5% and 7%, while external trade faces ongoing challenges due to sanctions and fluctuating export prices. Looking forward to 2025, GDP growth is expected to decelerate to 0.5%-1.5% as higher interest rates slow demand, while inflation may edge higher. Despite these challenges, targeted investments and policy adjustments may help Belarus manage risks and maintain economic stability.
