Lukashenka admits economic problems in Belarus

It will be necessary to change the governmental policy due to problems in the economy, Alyaksandr Lukashenka admitted.

 "This year is getting late, the fourth quarter is starting,” RIA Novosti quotes the Belarusian President. “This is our only chance to liquidate the existing problems. We can already assess the results of the year. We may have to change our tactics.”

It is necessary to assess how optimized the current budget expenses are (including the state programmes), and define the priorities, Lukashenka claimed.

 The government should not accuse the world financial crisis of these problems, the President stressed.
