It equals a little less than $100 million.

This was announced by Uladzimir Amaryn in Parliament, where he presented the budget draft to the deputies.

The minister said that for the construction of nuclear power infrastructure in the next year will be allocated more money than for road construction and reclamation.

"Some areas are also highlighted for state programs: road construction - it will get 649 billion rubles, an increase of 37% compared to the current year, the construction of reclamation systems will get 517 billion rubles, with growth of 19%, construction of nuclear power infrastructure will get more than a trillion rubles," said Amaryn.

On 11 December, MPs approved the budget in the first reading. It is based on the Russian ruble rate of 43 per dollar and the price of oil of $83 per barrel.
