Why can’t we just “stop” inflation? Because this, at least, violates all the legislation of the economy. You still can’t get attached at least sometimes, whether you like it or not. According to economists, Lukashenka’s ban on inflation amounts to a “do not rise by the Sun” order. writes the Liusterka Ulady Telegram channel.
Belarus looks more and more like North Korea. They also practice “freezing” prices. Well, maybe that’s it, it’s simply unimaginable to find another state where it’s possible to maintain the same price for a product with orders. But that never stopped Lukashenko, did it? There are no examples, we will do it ourselves!
Therefore, we will now do the work for the existing economic departments that intended to calculate all the dangers of the economic moratorium, but for some explanation of why they did not do their job. We provide a vague prediction of what will happen next in Belarus:
1) Store shelves will surely be empty. For what? Simply because it is surely successful to fill them with goods at established market prices.
2) Long live the black market! As in the 80s, the concept of “speculators” will return to Belarus, which will be engaged in the industry of prohibited goods. But as the USSR party shows, the costs will be two or even three times higher than those of the market. .
3) Many successful companies in the past in Belarus will close their doors. Hundreds and thousands of citizens will be out of work, which means they will be forced to leave the republic. The labor force will decrease dramatically. There will be no one to bail out the budget. The Belarusian economy will be finished.
An unsightly forecast, but more realistic than a childish order to ban inflation.
