May 5, Pozirk<\/em>.<\/strong> Belarusian companies\u2019 capital expenditure growth is expected may accelerate this year due to better access to loans, the Eurasian Development Bank (EDB) said in its recent weekly macroeconomic report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

CapEx growth accelerated to 18.3 percent year on year in January-March from an 8-percent increase recorded in the same period in 2024, the analysts noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The report says CapEx were driven by new equipment purchases, which accounted for 26.2 percent, accounting for more than half of the total growth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both private and state-owned companies increased expenditures after the government lowered taxes on imported equipment and improved investment legislation, the EDB said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Belarusian companies\u2019 capital expenditures surged to 10.8 billion rubles (about $3.5 billion) in the first quarter of 2025, according to the National Statistics Committee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
