Journalists were told by Deputy Minister of Economy Maria Majinskaya about the preliminary results of 2026, regarding the session of the Mogilev Regional Executive Committee (obliaspolkom) dedicated to issues of socio-economic development of the region for the first 9 months of the current year and the implementation of the socio-economic development program for the 2026-2030 period.

She noted that overall, one can say that the results are positive.

"The country's GDP is growing — it has already reached $108 billion, and investments have increased to $21 billion," she said.

However, the key indicator is the well-being of the population. "As of today, the salary has exceeded $1,000. This is a serious benchmark for us. But we do not stop here, we move forward — emphasized the deputy minister. — The level of low-income population is at a record low — 3.2%."

The center of state policy is a person. And, as Maria Majinskaya emphasized, everything here begins with quality education. And the realities of the modern world are such that it must be practice-oriented. "For this, emphasis is placed on the interaction of education, science, and the real sector of the economy. Workshops are opened in enterprises. As of today, there are already 28 of them, and we plan to open 22 more by the end of the year — she said. — Including in the Mogilev region, such workshops have been opened in enterprises that will allow staff to quickly and efficiently enter the work path. In addition, in order for youth to enter the labor market faster, we have revised the requirements for education, reduced the training periods for 640 professions. And also eliminated the need for education for certain working professions."

A strategic step toward a technological leap will be the preparation of specialists at a qualitatively new level. The forge of elite personnel in the fields of natural sciences, industrial and digital technologies, and other promising directions will become the Academy of Intellectual Technologies: from September 1st, it will welcome its first students.

Equal opportunities for everyone — for this reason, infrastructure for families with children is being actively developed in the country. "In 2026, four new schools were built, including one in Moghilev, and five more were reconstructed. In addition, to help mothers with children adapt quickly to the labor market, we are implementing 1,000 groups for kindergartens with flexible work schedules. That is, a mother can combine child-rearing and work, realizing her potential. All of this will contribute to the development of a specific region and, in general, the whole country," she noted. — This is necessary for us to ensure competitiveness of our entire economy, production of high-quality goods, and to develop new high-tech industries.

Investment projects are also being implemented in the country. "To date, a pool of 35 projects has been selected. This year, we plan to complete four projects. In the Moghilev region, the largest
