Belarusian Business Migration Study

In recent years, Belarus has been undergoing significant economic and political transformations that have had a profound impact on the business environment. These changes, along with emerging challenges and opportunities, are the subject of the latest ZPP Belarus Business Center study “Belarus Business Migration: Causes and Consequences”.

This study highlights the scale, nature and impact of business relocation from Belarus to Poland, Lithuania and Latvia starting from 2020, as well as the key challenges faced by Belarusian companies and entrepreneurs abroad. It provides valuable information not only on the reasons that motivate entrepreneurs to relocate, but also on the implications of this process for the Belarusian economy and the countries hosting Belarusian businessmen.
