Kabyakou: Export should be reoriented from Russian market

The reorientation of the Belarusian export from the Russian market to other countries should be ‘more dynamic’, Belarusian PM Andrei Kabyakou believes. The statement was pronounced at the governmental meeting dedicated to the results of Belarus’ trade and export diversification in January-February 2015.

The Belarusian export of goods and services decreased by 22.7% in the first two months of the year (in comparison with January-February 2014), BELTA reports. “External risks are increasing due to the high concentration of export in one market,” Kabyakou noted.

It is getting more and more difficult to work in the Russian market – Russians are protecting their market and their producers despite the newly created Eurasian Economic Union, Andrei Kabyakou noted.

"The foreign trade issues testify to the necessity of reorienting the export from the Russian market to other states,” Russian mass media are actively quoting Kabyakou’s statement today. It is necessary to accelerate the geographical and commodity diversification, Kabyakou announced.
