Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis of world experience, mainly that of South-East Asia regarding transition from import substitution to export oriented model. The article analyses forms and methods of export stimulation in the Republic of Belarus on the basis of world experience. A closer estimation of positive and negative consequences in the methods of export incentives allows to choose those which are more effective and less painful for the transitional economy and do not undermine the fundamentals of market economy and are less connected with subjective factors. For example, giving large export subsidies often used instead of devaluation or in order to compensate the protectionism consequences turned out to be inefficient. Granting significant subsidies and privileges provoked the growth of abuse during the procedure. The measures providing special conditions for exporters including subsidies, introduction of lower currency rate may generate the problems of inefficient resources distribution which is extremely dangerous for postsocialist countries. The article makes conclusions and some recommendations on the directions of international trade regulation in the Republic of Belarus. The authors underline that one of the major issues in export growth is the increase of competitiveness of the goods produced in Belarus owning to their quality improvement that is connected with production modernization and introduction of n ew high technologies.
