Belarusian President Proposes Economic Liberalization

At a swearing-in ceremony for Constitutional Court judges on March 3, Belarusian President Alyaksandr Lukashenka called for an overhaul of the country's legislation, Belapan reported. "Many laws and government directives have served their time, and some contradict others," Lukashenka said. "We should regard the best practices of states with market economies as a foundation, including with regard to the inviolability of private property and the enforcement of bank secrecy, and overhaul Belarusian laws," he said. "There are points where we should simply liberate the initiative of economic entities.... For instance...there should be competition in economic activities, and we should regulate laws in such a way that they would not impede these activities," Lukashenka said. He also suggested that the Constitutional Court's authority be extended so that it can "settle complicated legal issues that directly concern both the rights and legal interests of citizens and the activities of governmental agencies."
