Belarus Joint Ventures
A number of foreign companies have set up joint
ventures in
Belarus to take advantage of its location, its educated
(and
relatively inexpensive) work force, and its lack of
serious
ethnic problems. By mid-1995, Belarus had 1,745 joint
ventures
registered, but only some 30 percent of these were active.
Most
partners came from Poland, Germany, North America, and
Austria.
These joint ventures produced only 2 percent of total
Belarusian
output and employed only 0.4 percent of the total
workforce.
Data as of June 1995
