Evidence snapshot for Minsk
Minsk's Hi-Tech Park, created in 2005 as a tax-free zone, grew the ICT sector to 7.4% of GDP and generated $3.8 billion in exports by 2021, employing 88,500 people at wages up to four times the national average. However, the 2020 government crackdown on protests and the 2022 war triggered a sharp decline: roughly 20% of the ICT workforce (approximately 17,200 people) left within 10 months, and ICT exports fell 45% from $3.2 billion in 2021 to $1.8 billion in 2023. The evidence demonstrates that tax incentives alone cannot retain mobile talent when political stability deteriorates.
