Lukashenko recalled investment projects in the regions: each district must earn its own money
Each district must earn its own money. President of Belarus Alexander Lukashenko drew attention to this during his visit to Mogilevliftmash, a BELTA correspondent reports.
Chairman of the Mogilev Regional Executive Committee Anatoly Isachenko reported to the head of state on the main indicators of the region's socio-economic development. The growth rate of gross regional product in the Mogilev region for January-May amounted to 98.6% compared to the same period last year.
"You have three failures in the region. Most surprisingly, your industry is also failing," Alexander Lukashenko noted.
As Anatoly Isachenko clarified, they cannot reach the planned GRP indicators due to poor results in industry, retail and wholesale trade. As for industry, there are issues in two areas - woodworking and cement production. They expect to resolve them by the end of the year, and there are already some shifts.
The President inquired about the pace of housing construction, how problematic issues are being resolved at the region's largest enterprises, and how investment projects are being implemented in the region. "The issue is not about employing people. We have almost no problems with that. The issue is that each district must earn its own money," Alexander Lukashenko emphasized. "And this project they are creating there, not just created - reported."
"Each district has its own project. Projects of various orientations. They are literally all in progress," the governor replied. As an example, he cited the cultivation of rainbow trout in the southeast of the Mogilev region. The enterprise grows 20 tons of fish monthly, and the products are in high demand in retail chains.
Alexander Lukashenko also touched upon the same topic during a meeting with the labor collective of Mogilevliftmash, when discussing employment and the feasibility of building new production facilities in the region. "You know my 'tough' project: within this year - maximum next year, each district must create a high-tech enterprise. 21 districts (in the Mogilev region. - BELTA's note) - 21 enterprises. We will create them, we have started moving. We are helping with money. People are needed there - and people with good brains. Therefore, we will need people. We will build the enterprises, that is not an issue today anymore," the President noted.
The Head of State visited the production facilities at "Mogilevliftmash". The discussion focused on future prospects, including increasing the volume and range of manufactured products, and utilizing additional territories.
Then, Alexander Lukashenko inspected the exhibition of modern elevator equipment produced at the enterprise. The holding also manufactures electric motors of various modifications, woodworking, agricultural, and household appliances.
One of the key points the Head of State emphasized was energy saving. The enterprise also has, for example, a device for disinfecting elevators and premises, which is particularly relevant in light of the recent pandemic.
"Mogilevliftmash" is actively working on import substitution. Several investment projects are being implemented at the enterprise, which were also reported to the President.
First and foremost, this includes the modernization of high-speed elevator production and gearless drive elevators. Such a mechanism has a high efficiency factor, increased reliability and durability, and the elevators move with virtually no noise or vibration.
The enterprise is also creating production facilities for electric motors, traction motors for electric transport, and explosion-proof electric motors for the mining industry.
