Summary.
The article analyses the sectoral structural shifts in the Belarusian economy for the period of 1990–2020. The author determined the key features, specifics, and the convergent nature of changes in the sectoral structure of the Belarus’ economy and the economies of developed countries. The conclusion was made about the decreasing intensity of structural reforms in the republic, which indicates a lesser growth potential of the economy and justifies the need for the state structural policy.
Key words: structural shifts, economic growth, industrial structure, Belarusian economy, intensity of structural shifts, convergence of economic structures.
