The Ministry of Economy notes an increase in the level of well-being of Belarusians | Economy

This was confirmed by a study by the Scientific Research Institute of the Ministry of Economy on the achievements of socio-economic development of Belarus over the past 30 years, the press service of the Ministry of Economy reported.

Thus, in 1992, the purchase of goods and services accounted for 9 times more expenses than savings. In 2022, this ratio is already different – 6.4 to 1.

There is a decrease in the share of essential goods in favor of medical, educational and other services. If in 1992 about half of all household expenses were spent on food, then in 2022 it will be less than 40%.

Over the past 30 years, Belarusians began to consume more fruits and berries (2.5 times), vegetables (2.2 times), fish (2 times), meat (1.3 times).

“The growth in the level of well-being has made it possible to provide not only the primary needs of citizens. For our people, a car has ceased to be a luxury: the supply of passenger cars has increased more than 5 times. The housing issue was successfully resolved: the number of square meters per resident increased by 1.6 times,” the Ministry of Economy noted.
