PM names major goal for Belarusian economy in period of black swan events

When asked about what risks there are for the economy today, the prime minister said: “There are quite a lot of risks. These are sanctions pressure, problems in foreign trade. The most important thing is that we are now living in the period of black swan events. It is very difficult to predict what kind of 'black swan' we will see tomorrow.”
