The growth of Belarus' GDP was 2% in January-September 2026, remaining at the level of January-August. Such data is presented in the weekly macro review of the Eurasian Development Bank.

The EDB analysts noted:

  • One of the most important factors remains trade, supported by consumer demand. Retail trade turnover increased by 8.7 percent against the backdrop of an 8.2 percent growth in real disposable income of the population in January-August.
  • Experts drew attention to the fact that the growth of GDP was also contributed to by the expansion of transport services in the context of a 7.6 percent increase in passenger traffic.
  • Industrial production increased by 0.5 percent after growing by 0.2 percent in January-August. In these conditions, the analysts expect GDP growth of around 2.1 percent by the end of 2026.
