Description: The review finds that the reforms are heading in the right direction to deliver a more transparent, predictable and competitive business environment - indispensable for attracting high-quality investors.   Nonetheless, it identifies a number of areas where further regulatory and administrative reforms are needed to enhance Belarus' competitiveness and increase its attractiveness as an investment location.   These include a fair pricing mechanism, an effective land titling system, a competitive fiscal regime, and non-discrimination in the access to raw materials and industrial inputs.  As requested by the Belarusian authorities, the IPR also outlines the key elements of a strategy to support small and medium enterprise (SME) development through FDI [foreign direct investment].
