Business law in Belarus

Legal Framework

Independence of Justice

The Belarusian Constitution guarantees an independent judicial system. However, in practice, courts can be subject to executive and presidential influence.

According to the World Bank Doing Business Index (2016), the enforcement of contracts is relatively easy in Belarus: the country ranks 29th. This score mostly reflects rapid and non costly-procedures, as the quality of the judicial process is deemed to be lower in Belarus (a score of 9) than in OECD countries (a score of 11).
