MINSK, 20 August (BelTA) – Belarusian President Aleksandr Lukashenko signed Decree No. 278 “On stimulating participation in international specialized exhibitions (fairs)” on 20 August, the press service of the head of state told BelTA.

The document introduces amendments to Decree No. 412 “On export support” of 14 November 2019.

The cap on partial expense reimbursement for business entities participating in specialized trade shows and fairs abroad is raised from 250 to 500 base amounts. Furthermore, companies can now claim this financial support twice instead of once, provided they participate in such events in different countries.

The newly introduced amendments aim to expand export destinations for domestic goods and open up more opportunities for Belarusian enterprises at international specialized expos.
