According to the President, it's necessary to reduce cost price in the construction industry to compensate for higher prices of natural resources, particularly gas.

But in our construction, as well as in agriculture, figuratively speaking, not a bone in the truck. It’s still possible to reduce cost there. Therefore, any increase in energy prices should be covered by cost reductions in other areas, » Alexander Lukashenko said, addressing Anatoli Nichkasov.
MES Should Be Closer to People, Lukashenko
The Belarusian leader also expressed his dissatisfaction with the Ministry of Emergency Situations with his former leader in charge. «Unfortunately, it happened so that despite the work, there are still no significant results in key areas,» the President of Belarus stated.
