Experience PMR

Belarus


Belarus is very much an enigma within the CEE region – a peculiar mix of an authoritarian state where personal freedoms and human rights are highly restricted while at the same time boasting an economy that has been growing at an average rate of 8% in recent years. The Belarusian market has recently attracted many interesting investors, most commonly entering into partnerships with local (typically state-owned) institutions. The most notable of these has been the collaboration between MAN and MAZ, a local manufacturer of trucks and building equipment. Belarus’ location, between Russia and Western Europe, is also a strategic asset.
