Abstract
The elections held in the Republic of Belarus in August 2020 and the subsequent development of the political situation have significantly increased the economic risks for the country’s national economy. However, forecasts related to a significant weakening of the economy did not materialize. The Belarusian economy can be called “garrison” or “mobilization”, but it has passed a unique test for peacetime.
