The opening of the new Avia Mall in 'Minsk World' has led to an increase in retail space vacancy, with rates climbing from 7.5% to 9.1% in the second quarter of 2025. Despite this, the stock market today shows signs of recovery after the pandemic and structural changes.

The new Avia Mall, located in the 'Minsk World' development, has contributed to this increase in vacancy.
