September 25, Pozirk<\/em>. <\/strong>The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) has revised downward its May forecast for Belarusian economic growth, expecting the GDP to rise by 1.7 percent as opposed to 2.5 percent that it predicted in May, its recent analysis says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The EBRD also expects GDP growth for 2026 at 2.3 percent, a slight downgrade from the 2.5-percent projection issued three months ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Real GDP growth slowed to 1.3 percent year-on-year in January\u2013July, driven by declines in manufacturing and agricultural output, while inflation rose to 7.4 percent in July, reflecting higher food and service prices, the analysts said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The short-term economic outlook appears unfavorable amid Belarus\u2019 growing reliance on the Russian economy and slowing growth in Russia, the EBRD noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
