Economic Review
Traditional activities of local Jewish population were trade with agricultural products and fish. Since early time Dobosna river was the main road and trade way for local inhabitants.
The shtetle became to develop after Voronetsky family became its master. But the events of the XVII-XVIII centuries undermined Pobolovo economy and the Shtetle fell in decay.
During Russian principality the authorities did a lot to develop the region because of military and fiscal reasons mostly. First of all, old communications were reconstructed there:
 | road Bobruisk - Pobolovo - Zhlobin; |
| road Pobolovo - Liskovskaya Sloboda; |
| old boat and rafts station. |
The road Pobolovo - Rogachev was constructed at once after the 2nd partition of Poland (1793), also in strategic matters.
In XIX, because of development of the All-Russian Market, new types of communications appeared in the area in 1873. Construction of the railroad provoked new increase of the development of the region. But it did not effect seriously development of Pobolovo, because it was mainly agricultural settlement that time and there no big business enterprises there. To be noticed, that local Jews did not work on land as peasants.
Since 1873 the closest railway station was 8 km afar in Krasny Bereg. Even the construction of road from Pobolovo to Krasny Bereg and the transformation of Bobruisk - Zhlobin road into a highway did not changed the basic situation. Fish and agricultural products stayed the most popular goods among local Jews.
In 1885 there were 50 wooden houses in Pobolovo.
In 1909 in Pobolovo there were 112 wooden houses.
