“According to the results of two months we have 435 loss-making companies without any departmental affiliation (private companies).

We should deal with them,” U.Syamashka said at a session of the Council of Ministers.

Prime-Minister of Belarus Syarhei Sidorski has informed during the meeting that out of 166 enterprises that ensure gross product, 13 were loss-making as of March 1. In this connection work of in ministries and agencies causes special attention of Prime Minister.
