A number of investors are interested to take part in the forum as they are eager to invest, develop, create new enterprises, promote new ideas, products, technologies, Director of the National Investment and Privatization Agency stated.

Foreign investors make up more than 70% of the total amount, and the Belarusan Investment Forum is expecting this year about 500 participants, BelTA reports. At the previous investment forums, Dmitry Klevzhits highlighted, the investors and other participants ratio was 50/50.

As an evidence of investors’ interest, Dmitry Klevzhits added that about $661 million foreign direct investment was put into in the country’s economy in the first half of 2012, over 60% of the funds were reinvested profits.
