In the last few years, the legal framework for doing business in Belarus has substantially improved. Active efforts are being made to simplify legislation, reduce administrative barriers and make it easier for foreign investors to do business in our country. There is, of course, much that remains to be done. Each year we see new incentives for Belarusian and foreign investors, and legislative changes are becoming more transparent and predictable. We hope that this brochure will be useful for any businessman contemplating investment in Belarus. For its part, the Belarusian Chamber of Commerce and Industry (as one of the largest and most influential business associations in Belarus) is ready to provide the necessary support for any new project on the hospitable land of Belarus.
