The concept of the 2026-2030 Socioeconomic Development Program has been presented to the Supreme Court of Belarus, BelTA has learned.

Speaking to the judicial community, First Deputy Prime Minister Nikolai Snopkov noted that the five-year Socioeconomic Development Program sets the tasks for the domestic economy and defines the tools to implement them relying on the experience of the previous five-year period.

The new document is based on the instructions the head of state gave during campaigning and while appointing the government. It is also based on public needs (established during a large-scale sociological survey) and proposals of the academic community.

Speaking about the medium-term objectives, the first deputy prime minister named five areas that will shape the country’s future.

The development of human potential will be in the focus. There are plans to reverse demographic trends and adjust education to the future needs of the economy. According to Nikolai Snopkov, all the tools stipulated by the program are directly or indirectly aimed at achieving higher living standards.

The family support system will be revised. Additional tools to encourage people to have more babies were proposed. The number of free IVF cycles will increase to two. The family capital program will be extended.

Kindergartens are proposed to work flexible hours and accept more children under two years old. According to the first deputy prime minister, these proposals will be discussed in greater detail while finalizing the program.

Accessibility, quality and digitalization are key tasks for healthcare. At least three inter-district high-tech healthcare centers will operate in each region. A single electronic patient database will be launched to simplify the transfer of people from one medical institution to another: documents will be transferred upon request from institution to institution.
