Dec 24 (Reuters) - The economy of Belarus is expected to shrink by 4% in 2022 after western nations imposed punitive measures, much less than some had forecast, Interfax cited Prime Minister Roman Golovchenko as saying on Saturday. The European Union, the United States and others have imposed billions of dollars worth of sanctions on the ex-Soviet state over its support for Russia's war against Ukraine. "You know the forecasts we were given - from a total collapse (of the economy) to a drop of 20%," Interfax quoted Golovchenko as telling national television. Golovchenko also said the overall inflation rate in 2022 would be 12%, Interfax reported. Year-on-year inflation on Dec. 1 was 13.3%, down from 15.2% the previous month.

„Sperăm că «capetele înfierbântate» se vor calma şi se vor gândi, printre altele, la interesele companiilor lor în Belarus [...]. Suntem pentru pace în regiune, pentru o politică a bunei vecinătăţi, dorim să stabilim relaţii de parteneriat egal. Premierul susţine că prejudiciul adus Minskului prin sancţiunile financiare şi comerciale din partea Occidentului nu ar depăşi 3% din PIB-ul naţional. Pe 4 iunie, UE a interzis oficial avioanelor din Belarus să folosească spaţiul aerian şi aeroporturile UE din 5 iunie şi a recomandat ca avioanele europene să evite spaţiul aerian deasupra Belarusului. Această măsură face parte din sancţiunile economice împotriva Belarusului în urma incidentului pe 23 mai.
