Official poverty estimates in Belarus are produced by National Statistical Committee of the Republic of Belarus based on a quar-
terly household sample survey. National poverty measurement reports both absolute and relative poverty estimates. The abso-
lute poverty line is the cost of the subsistence minimum which is calculated based on the expenditure structure of the poorest deciles and is approved by the
government. The relative poverty line is 60% of median average per capita income. In 2013, according to the most recently published figures, 5.5% of the population lived in
absolute poverty.* The most recent national strategy for statistical development in Belarus spans the years 2012-2015, and is in the process of implementation. The most recent
household sample survey available for Belarus in the World Bank’s regional internal microdata catalog, the ECA Data Portal, is for the year 2010.

Where possible, data is from harmonized regionally comparable sources. All numbers in this document are produced using the 2005
PPPs, as the use of the 2011 PPPs in the calculation of global poverty estimates still requires additional analysis. This note was produced
