February 23, Minsk / Lyudmila Sats - BELTA /. Deputies approved the Program of the Government of Belarus for 2011-2015, BELTA correspondent reports. Presenting the program to the deputies, Prime Minister of Belarus Mikhail Myasnikovich noted that this document is a kind of "roadmap" for the government to fulfill the tasks of the Fourth All-Belarusian People's Assembly and the instructions of the head of state. A feature of the program is that it is of direct action and personalized. The measures laid down in the program create a mechanism for implementing the most important state tasks. Mikhail Myasnikovich recalled that the government of Belarus has been set unprecedentedly challenging tasks: "In the current five-year period, it is necessary to achieve the rates and quality of economic growth demonstrated by China, Korea, Singapore and other "Asian tigers" that made a technological breakthrough in their development. A feature of the socio-economic development of Belarus for the period up to 2015 is also that this will have to be done in the conditions of post-crisis recovery of the global economy, and this process in the world is quite slow." The Prime Minister announced that the government of Belarus intends to seriously change its style and methods of work in order to create conditions for fulfilling the tasks of the five-year plan. "We will create the necessary motivational mechanisms and try to unleash the initiative and entrepreneurship of Belarusian citizens," he noted. Specific proposals for a radical improvement of tax declaration and the improvement of privatization mechanisms have already been submitted to the head of state. According to the head of the Belarusian government, in the current five-year period, qualitative indicators of economic development (efficiency, growth of labor productivity, exports and active balance of foreign trade) will evolutionarily replace planned volume indicators. The government will also ensure equal conditions for efficient and socially responsible owners, regardless of whether the enterprise is state-owned or private, domestic or foreign. -0-
