Commenting on the prospects for growth of material support to the population, Deputy Minister of Economy of the Republic of Belarus Tatyana Brantsevich explained to the agency that the dynamics of income will be determined by the achieved economic growth. She pointed out that this year “a task has been set to increase the real disposable income of the population to the level of 104.1%”.
The state, according to her, will do everything necessary, taking into account financial possibilities, so that labor pensions in real terms do not decrease. “We also expect more and more Belarusians to try to increase their income during their well-deserved rest with the help of a new voluntary funded pension insurance program,” Brantsevich explained.
