Belarus: The government is considering offering subsidies to local cement producers. The matter was discussed at a meeting examining the performance of various companies chaired by the Belarusian president Alexander Lukashenko, according to the Belarusian Telegraph Agency. First Deputy Prime Minister Alexander Turchin said that cement companies had invested in projects only for the price of cement to fall ‘dramatically’ leading to financial losses. If any aid is provided it will come with government-enforced targets.
