Vitebsk honored the best economists of the region
– An economist is a worthy, important, and necessary profession. The work of an economist is not always noticeable, but it is precisely the correct thinking, assessment of regional development, and forecasting that determine the well-being of our people and the socio-economic development of each region, – emphasized the Deputy Chairman of the regional executive committee, Anzhelika Nikitina. – According to preliminary results for six months, the Vitebsk region will fulfill almost all 15 out of 16 indicators set by the Council of Ministers. And, of course, the contribution of each person lies in the formation of such a "package". Currently, we have overfulfillment in such key indicators as the formation of local budgets and wage growth. We estimate the economic growth at 115%.
Today, in almost every region, as part of the head of state's directive, the initiative "One District – One Project" is being implemented, and everyone, as the Deputy Chairman emphasized, understands that there is no future without investment.
– Many projects are still ahead. Literally today, an investment agreement was signed for the project of creating the fish processing enterprise "Morskie Sezony" in the FEZ Vitebsk, which will create about 300 jobs. We are working on a project to create chipboard panel production. The modernization of the enterprises of the Verkhnedvinsk butter and cheese factory, the Postavy dairy plant, and the construction of a logistics center in the Vitebsk and Verkhnedvinsk regions will lead to new jobs and a decent level of wages. This means that our youth will not leave the district centers and will continue to work locally, – noted Anzhelika Nikitina.
In a solemn ceremony, the many years of diligent work and personal contribution to the socio-economic development of the 15 best economists of the Vitebsk region were recognized. Thus, Angelica Nikitina presented Certificates of Honor from the Ministry of Economy to Elena Babinskaya, Deputy Chairperson of the Braslav District Executive Committee, and Snezhana Semenova, Deputy Chairperson of the Vitebsk District Executive Committee.
Veronika Zabolueva, Chairperson of the Committee of Economy of the Regional Executive Committee, also congratulated her colleagues and wished the honorees the achievement of their goals, success in all endeavors, and to count accurately.
