Retailers will not need licenses

The Belarusian government plans to revoke the licensing requirement for retailers. Deputy Economy Minister Andrey Tur said that a decree to that effect has already been drafted, Interfax reported.
Tur touted the measure, noting that retailers accounted for 80 percent of all business licenses issued in the country. The decree also will scrap licenses "for all activities in aviation" and for transport services.

 

Tur said that other business liberalization measures will be forthcoming.
