[00:00:09] The Middle East is ablaze again.
[00:00:12] Our country is prospering, and we will soon defeat Iran. We will defeat
[00:00:16] them any day now, and life will become even better.
[00:00:19] Americans continue to steadily turn war into
[00:00:22] a business enterprise, in which the main thing - profit must
[00:00:26] exceed costs. In Germany, a scandal is brewing that could
[00:00:30] restore the image of the country as a bastion of civil
[00:00:33] liberties. The Federal Office for the Protection of the Constitution may
[00:00:36] gain the right to secretly penetrate private homes
[00:00:40] of citizens, hack computers, and smartphones. Telecom operators
[00:00:44] and digital platforms will be obliged to cooperate with
[00:00:47] intelligence under threat of multi-million dollar fines. In
[00:00:50] the EU, a digital revolution is brewing that could
[00:00:53] forever change the European internet.
[00:00:56] Today's European Union, which for decades taught the world about human
[00:01:00] rights and privacy, is methodically building a system of total
[00:01:04] surveillance. Every EU resident will receive a digital wallet
[00:01:07] linked to biometrics, bank accounts, medical data, and
[00:01:11] of course, internet activity.
[00:01:14] In practice, this means that any
[00:01:17] online step, from buying a ticket to commenting on a news item, will
[00:01:20] be linked to a specific person and stored in a single
[00:01:24] database. The most interesting news of the week,
[00:01:27] setting trends on the Belarus 244 TV channel.
[00:02:38] Area of interests on the first information, in the studio Alina
[00:02:41] Lopoy, in the next 15 minutes we will talk about notable
[00:02:45] events from the world of economics, business and
[00:02:47] finance. Detect and prevent
[00:02:50] fraud, how the National Bank evaluates the effectiveness
[00:02:54] of updated anti-fraud systems. How does
[00:02:56] the service work for checking the authenticity of electronic digital
[00:03:00] signatures? We will get in touch with a guest and what tasks
[00:03:03] have been set by energy companies for modernizing electrical grids in
[00:03:07] our country, we will tell in
[00:03:09] a report.
[00:03:12] Updated anti-fraud systems of banks show good
[00:03:15] results, prevent theft of funds, and block
[00:03:19] suspicious transactions in automatic mode. As
[00:03:22] a result, according to the National Bank, for 7 months,
[00:03:26] the amount of damage from unauthorized payment
[00:03:29] operations decreased by 3.5 million
[00:03:32] rubles. The share of suspended withdrawals of money
[00:03:36] increased by more than two and a half times. How
[00:03:39] does the system work, what should customers pay attention to,
[00:03:43] and why do bankers often have to be
[00:03:46] psychologists? Svetlana Lukinyuk
[00:03:48] will tell. With the development of technology, unfortunately,
[00:03:52] the number of cybercrimes is also growing, and here it is important
[00:03:55] to take measures to stay ahead, so
[00:03:59] the anti-fraud system is constantly being improved. This is a complex of software tools, methods
[00:04:02] and procedures for identifying suspicious actions.
[00:04:06] Simply put, the anti-fraud system fights fraud in
[00:04:09] online mode, it automatically checks all
[00:04:12] transactions. Here we already see short-term results for July,
[00:04:15] such significant
[00:04:19] results: first, banks
[00:04:22] began to more actively suspend
[00:04:25] operations, well, if compared with
[00:04:29] last year, even since the beginning of the year, the number of suspended
[00:04:32] operations increased by three
[00:04:35] times, and already there are several tens of thousands of
[00:04:39] operations that we suspend. The number of banks overall has increased,
[00:04:42] including suspended operations,
[00:04:46] that is, if last year we had only 8% of all
[00:04:49] fraudulent operations, banks together with the Ministry of Internal Affairs
[00:04:53] suspended them, then now this figure is already approaching
[00:04:57] twenty, it was already more than sixteen for the second
[00:05:00] quarter, well, and continues to grow, the number of
[00:05:04] withdrawals of funds from non-resident accounts, so-called, also
[00:05:08] decreased, that is, when we,
[00:05:10] for example,
[00:05:30] since this year, the President's decree came into force, which regulates the issues of preventing the transit withdrawal of money
[00:05:33] and the use of gaming accounts not for their intended purpose. There
[00:05:37] were also large withdrawals through crypto platforms.
[00:05:41] This is when scammers, through so-called drops
[00:05:44] (proxy people) or themselves force
[00:05:47] our citizens to transfer money to create accounts,
[00:05:51] for example, their own on crypto platforms, transfer large
[00:05:54] sums of money there, and not even their own, there can be
[00:05:58] several sources, and then these funds are withdrawn in
[00:06:01] an unknown direction. So we introduced certain
[00:06:04] requirements for our Belarusian
[00:06:07] crypto platforms, and accordingly they also check. So-called
[00:06:10] anti-fraud actions are performed, they have
[00:06:14] systems, I remind you that for banks, the same thing applies: from July
[00:06:17] 1st, the presence of a so-called anti-fraud system is mandatory. This system
[00:06:21] consists of several components. Parameters
[00:06:25] of devices, gadgets from which operations are performed are recorded to
[00:06:28] detect atypical logins, the client's location
[00:06:32] when making payments is analyzed to cut off
[00:06:35] suspicious activity. All financial organizations
[00:06:38] in the country apply common criteria for
[00:06:41] assessing the risks of suspicious actions.
[00:06:45] Bank systems analyze, for example,
[00:06:48] they check against a blacklist of cards, there is
[00:06:51] a blacklist of fraudsters, who are wanted,
[00:06:55] for example, we have a certain system, the so-called
[00:06:58] automated incident processing system, through which all this
[00:07:02] information is accumulated between banks, for example, if we see
[00:07:06] an incident, then all banks simultaneously see this
[00:07:09] incident, accordingly, for example, if a fraudster
[00:07:12] managed to withdraw money from your account or convince
[00:07:16] you to do it in one bank, if the bank
[00:07:20] suspected something was wrong, then in other remaining banks,
[00:07:23] you will most likely not do it, because they will already know that you are under the influence
[00:07:27] of fraudsters and so on. Sometimes clients come to banks
[00:07:31] under the influence of fraudsters, demanding to withdraw all money from their account or
[00:07:34] deposit, and this is the most difficult situation, when you need to recognize
[00:07:38] whether the money is really needed by the client himself or if he is willing to
[00:07:42] give it to strangers, because it will be impossible to return it, and here
[00:07:46] bank employees need to be good psychologists to
[00:07:50] make the right decision and manage to save the client's
[00:07:53] savings. Svetlana Lukinyuk, Ilya Maksimov, area of
[00:07:56] interests.
[00:07:58] In general, the protection of our
[00:08:03] funds, savings, and documents requires maximum
[00:08:06] vigilance, because digital security concerns not only bank cards,
[00:08:10] but also documents that we sign online.
[00:08:14] A new domestic resource is designed to protect businesses and citizens from
[00:08:17] counterfeiting. The National Center for Electronic Services has launched a service
[00:08:21] for verifying the authenticity of electronic digital signatures.
[00:08:24] Now it is possible to verify the legal force of a document and check
[00:08:28] whether a real person is behind the virtual signature
[00:08:32] of documents in a few clicks. We will learn all the details
[00:08:35] right now. With us on the line is Andrey Filipenko, First
[00:08:38] Deputy Director of the National Center for Electronic Services.
[00:08:51] this service appeared in free access, and we pursued
[00:08:54] several goals, well, first of all, everyone knows that
[00:08:58] in state bodies, in private
[00:09:01] organizations, electronic document management is actively
[00:09:05] used, electronic documents are created, electronic
[00:09:08] archives are formed, and we noticed this fact that in workplaces
[00:09:12] people are increasingly using such a tool as
[00:09:15] an electronic document, in their workplaces they check the electronic
[00:09:19] digital signature, in workplaces this
[00:09:22] is handled by the electronic document management system, in which this
[00:09:25] toolkit is actually built-in, and the relevance and
[00:09:29] certification of the corresponding toolkit
[00:09:33] are the responsibility of the owners,
[00:09:36] service providers of the electronic document management system, administrators at
[00:09:40] work, but if people... in the future
[00:09:43] will increasingly encounter the use of
[00:09:46] electronic digital documents in private
[00:09:49] life, then they should also have a service
[00:09:52] for checking electronic digital signatures, for the operation
[00:09:55] of which the National Center for Electronic
[00:09:58] Services will be responsible, and we use this service
[00:10:01] to promote digital literacy in people's
[00:10:05] private lives, so that people can take any file and
[00:10:08] learn to check electronic digital signatures
[00:10:12] using our service,
[00:10:16] view in pdf format what file is formed,
[00:10:19] what is written, what is checked further,
[00:10:22] if a person needs to send this
[00:10:25] document to some government organization, then the person can
[00:10:29] be sure that this electronic document will be accepted
[00:10:33] by the electronic document management system, verified, accepted
[00:10:36] as reliable, and will subsequently be used
[00:10:39] for some official relations, the demand for
[00:10:43] it is growing, and even simply based on
[00:10:47] the calls that come to our contact center, and from
[00:10:50] my comrades, friends, acquaintances. People
[00:10:53] are interested in this service, we will, of course, observe the growth of its
[00:10:57] popularity, in order to see how this
[00:11:00] service can be developed further. The service is
[00:11:04] free for clients, and what about data security,
[00:11:07] tell us more? Yes, this is a free function, you can
[00:11:11] find it on our website, questions also often arise
[00:11:14] about how safe this service is.
[00:11:17] Yes, of course, in our service a file with an electronic
[00:11:21] digital signature is placed, but after that it is performed. the testing process of the so-called
[00:11:55] cloud electronic digital signature, which
[00:11:58] assumes that its carrier, the key carrier
[00:12:01] will not be a familiar flash drive,
[00:12:05] SIM card or ID card, but a part
[00:12:08] of the key will be stored, well, if to put it simply, a part of the key will be
[00:12:12] stored on the phone, and a part in a secure cloud
[00:12:15] storage, when it will be necessary to sign an electronic document
[00:12:18] or use it for other purposes with the electronic digital
[00:12:22] signature key, then a secure access
[00:12:25] to the storage will be organized, the signing in the corresponding
[00:12:28] system of the electronic document,
[00:12:32] well, and then you disconnect,
[00:12:35] deactivate the corresponding service, that's it, and then continue to use
[00:12:39] your phone, well, as a normal familiar tool. Well,
[00:12:42] thank you very much, we had Andrey Filipenko,
[00:12:46] First Deputy Director of the National Center
[00:12:49] for Electronic Services,
[00:12:51] on the line.
[00:12:57] This is a sphere of interests, let's continue: according to the results of the regular trading on
[00:13:01] the Belarusian Currency and Stock Exchange, the dollar and yuan rose in price,
[00:13:04] the Russian ruble fell in price. So the American currency costs
[00:13:08] 2 rubles 98 kopecks. The Euro according to the
[00:13:12] National Bank rate is 3.43. For 10 Yuan they give 4 rubles
[00:13:16] 45 kopecks. And 100 Russian costs 3.59
[00:13:19] Belarusian.
[00:13:25] this year intends to reconstruct 4,000
[00:13:28] km of electrical networks to provide heating and
[00:13:32] hot water supply. Energy is a sphere where
[00:13:35] the stability of the system directly depends on the condition
[00:13:39] of lines, equipment and generating capacities.
[00:13:42] Another demanded direction today is the modernization
[00:13:46] of substations for connecting additional loads,
[00:13:50] for example, charging stations for electric vehicles. This is
[00:13:53] logical, the market for electric cars in our country
[00:13:57] is growing at a significant pace. What tasks
[00:14:01] does the industry set for itself in the near future? In the
[00:14:03] report by Anastasia Strelkovskaya.
[00:14:07] Hot water and uninterrupted electricity supply in one's home or
[00:14:11] apartment are commonplace, and it seems there is nothing surprising about
[00:14:14] it, but behind such stable comfort are energy workers,
[00:14:18] people who check, adjust, and
[00:14:22] in case of anything, eliminate malfunctions ten times a day. Bad weather that hit
[00:14:55] to connect new subscribers, in each region
[00:14:57] such schedules are approved, all these schedules are
[00:15:00] available on our external website GPO
[00:15:03] Belenergo, and there you can see each locality that is planned for
[00:15:07] the current year or next year, which will undergo
[00:15:10] reconstruction. Today, modernization of the network infrastructure is not so much
[00:15:14] replacing obsolete with new, but rather switching to modern,
[00:15:18] technological, and resource-saving for the country. By the way, over
[00:15:22] the last 20 years, the energy intensity of Belarus's GDP
[00:15:25] has decreased by 54%, which is
[00:15:28] the best indicator among EU countries and above the world
[00:15:31] average. This indicates that the national economy
[00:15:35] is becoming more efficient, spending less money to obtain
[00:15:39] the same volume of goods and services. Our enterprises
[00:15:43] annually reduce energy consumption. Incidentally, over
[00:15:46] 5 years, the country has saved more than 3 million tons of
[00:15:50] conventional fuel, this is one of the main tasks facing
[00:15:53] the industry today. Our task is to
[00:15:56] increase the energy independence of our country, that is, to move away from the dependence on natural
[00:16:00] gas, which the Republic of Belarus buys abroad. And our task as a
[00:16:03] whole is that by building a power plant, the most reliable, most modern
[00:16:07] power unit, it allows us to move away from dependence on natural gas.
[00:16:11] Our country has completely abandoned electricity imports thanks to
[00:16:15] the Belarusian NPP. And what else will happen when we build the third
[00:16:19] power unit and build another nuclear power plant,
[00:16:22] but that is in the future. In the present, we use the benefits created by our own efforts
[00:16:26] and learn to direct them in the right
[00:16:30] direction. We are working on the fact that the concept of electric heating until
[00:16:33] 2035 will provide for
[00:16:36] the population to know which electric heaters or
[00:16:39] heating systems will be the most energy-efficient, for example,
[00:16:42] if a window is open, the system will turn off, if there is no one at home,
[00:16:46] the system will go into standby mode, overall it will allow to increase seasonal
[00:16:50] energy efficiency. Smart heating is already in Belarusian homes,
[00:16:54] it turns on heating only when it is needed,
[00:16:57] for example, an hour before the owners return from work, which means
[00:17:00] heat and electricity are not wasted, every
[00:17:04] kilowatt brings an economic effect with a
[00:17:07] plus sign. Anastasia Strelkovskaya and Viktor Borisov,
[00:17:11] sphere of interests.
[00:17:13] Well, that's all the information for
[00:17:18] today. Even more news on our website news.by, productivity
[00:17:22] in affairs, stay on the first one. you
[00:19:50] events and topics that are being discussed.
[00:19:54] West, East, far arc, Asia,
[00:19:58] Africa,

[00:20:03] The Business Council adopted Minsk. Its
[00:20:37] main task is to support businesses entering the market, finding
[00:20:41] reliable partners, and developing investment
[00:20:44] cooperation. 24 Belarusian enterprises received the government
[00:20:47] award for achievements in the field of quality. Belarusian
[00:20:51] manufacturers are expanding their presence in the Georgian market; in Tbilisi,
