New market study, "Belarus Food & Drink Report Q4 2015", has been published

The Belarusian food and drink market will suffer from the country's worsening economic situation as Belarus is expected to slide into recession in 2015. Falling real wage growth driven by high inflation will cap consumer spending, while collapsing demand from Russia and Ukraine will exacerbate Belarus' external imbalances and ensure that net exports remain a major drag on growth.
