    Belarus attracts more FDI in 2020

    MINSK, 6 May (BelTA) - Belarus was among the few countries that increased the inflow of net foreign direct investment last year, Belarus' Economy Minister Aleksandr Chervyakov said in an interview to the SB. Belarus Segodnya newspaper, BelTA has learned.

    According to him, the competition for foreign investment has sharply increased in recent years. This is partly a consequence of weaker international investment flows triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic.

    “According to UNCTAD's 2020 data, global foreign direct investment fell by 42%. The decline was 69% in developed countries, 12% in developing countries, and 77% in transition economies. Belarus was among the few countries to have increased the inflow of net foreign direct investment last year, up $1.4 billion, or 6.6%. This suggests that our economy has not lost its attractiveness and is still interesting for investors. It is especially important that the FDI structure has improved. The reinvestment rate exceeded 30%. This once again emphasizes the confidence and willingness of foreign investors to invest their profits in further development within our country,” the minister said.

    Aleksandr Chervyakov added that last year 56 new residents were registered in the country's free economic zones and the Great Stone Industrial Park. The total volume of their declared investments made up some $280 million and 2,500 new jobs. Thirty residents of them are with foreign capital and total investments of $240 million and 1,500 new jobs. The biggest trade partner and investor in the Belarusian economy is Russia. It accounts for one fifth of all foreign capital in the country. The top five countries also include Cyprus, the Netherlands, Germany and the United States.

    The new investment projects, launched in 2020, are focused on advanced processing of local raw materials. Such wood processing projects are implemented in Vitebsk Oblast and Grodno Oblast.

    “Belarus' competitive advantages are well known. These are, of course, the advantageous geographical location at the junction of two major integration associations - the EU and the EAEU, developed transport communications and infrastructure, and also a highly qualified workforce and significant scientific and technical potential. Another important benefit is the presence of areas with preferential regimes for investors. We understand that in conditions of fierce competition for capital, it is necessary to create conditions that are at least no worse than those in the neighboring countries. We are working in this direction, carrying out extensive reforms aimed at improving the investment attractiveness. Transformations will affect a wide range of relations, with tax and investment legislation further improving,” the minister said.
