Belarus’ economy grows by 3.8 percent in January-October – official

“We have fully offset losses in foreign markets,” the government’s press office quoted him as saying. “Overall, the economy is developing steadily and sustainably. We will maintain this level [until the end of the year].”
The government had projected growth of 3.8 percent for 2023.
