Minsk Leads, Mogilev Lags: Regional Salary Disparities in Belarus Revealed

Belarusian Average Salaries Show Regional Disparities in April 2025 Belstat, the Belarusian national statistical committee, recently released data on average salaries across the country for April 2025, revealing significant regional differences. The highest average salary was recorded in Minsk, reaching BYN 3499.08, while the lowest was in Mogilev at BYN 2181.03. These figures highlight the economic disparities within the country. "The data shows a clear trend of higher salaries in urban areas compared to rural regions," explained an economist specializing in Belarusian labor markets. This disparity is a common feature of many economies, but the extent of the difference in Belarus is notable. The report further breaks down the average salaries by region, showing Minsk Oblast at BYN 2654.03, Gomel Oblast at BYN 2311.03, Grodno Oblast at BYN 2357.09, and Brest Oblast at BYN 2271.03. This information provides a comprehensive overview of the current economic situation in Belarus. While these figures provide a snapshot of the average salary, they don't reflect the full complexity of the Belarusian economy. Further analysis is needed to understand the factors driving these regional variations and their impact on the overall economic landscape. The data, however, serves as a valuable starting point for further discussion and research into economic equity in Belarus.
