Prime Minister Alexander Turchyn, presenting the program, noted that its implementation will allow citizens to feel an improvement in the quality of life within the next five years. It is supposedly fully financed, and the sources of funds are calculated taking into account the real capabilities of the economy.

The fulfillment of the set tasks will be reviewed annually at the All-Belarusian People's Assembly, and changes can be made to the program if necessary.

It is planned that over the five-year period, the country's gross domestic product will grow by 15.8%, on average no less than 3% annually. Special attention is paid to the diversification of exports and the development of high-tech industries - from industrial robots and unmanned systems to microelectronics, pharmaceuticals, and electric vehicles.

By 2030, all roads from district centers to agro-towns should receive improved surfacing. A total of at least 25 thousand kilometers of roads are planned to be reconstructed, built, or overhauled. Over five years, it is planned to build about 5 million square meters of rental housing, which should help attract personnel to the regions.

Among the major investment projects are the construction of a second plant for the production of sulfate pulp, the creation of polypropylene production, precise aluminum casting, and high-power tractors. A Center for Entrepreneurship Development will also appear in the country, and the share of small and medium-sized businesses in gross value added should reach 33%.

Special emphasis is placed on the development of the defense industry, the introduction of innovative models of armaments and military equipment.

In the agro-industrial complex, the construction of more than 200 dairy farms and five large pig complexes is planned.

In the social sphere, the goal is to increase the birth rate, reduce mortality, and extend the average life expectancy to 76.5 years. It is planned to build about 20 kindergartens and 27 schools, as well as expand opportunities for adult additional education.

In healthcare, the task is to cover at least 95% of the adult population with dispensarization and to develop a network of inter-district centers for specialized medical care.

In the environmental sphere, it is planned to increase the processing of municipal solid and industrial waste and to commission seven new facilities for handling municipal solid waste.

In tourism, over five years, it is planned to build and reconstruct about 100 facilities to make the industry one of the drivers of the economy.

In the labor market, the main goal is to ensure a balance of personnel, prevent their outflow, and at the same time attract in-demand specialists. The level of personnel provision should be at least 97%, with special attention to youth and their rapid integration into the country's economy.
