Raman Halouchanka said there’s no reason to take additional measures to regulate the fx market. According to the prime minister, the government press service reports the fluctuations are temporary.
Prime Minister of Belarus Raman Halouchanka believes that the collapse of the Belarusian ruble, which occurred after Russia attacked Ukraine, is an excuse, “including by destructive forces to sow panic, throw people off the normal rhythm of life, cause some chaos inside the country as well.”
“The government has discussed the situation and concluded that there is no reason to take additional regulation of the fx market, neither now, nor in the near future. The exchange rate of the Belarusian ruble will remain stable. The introduction of any restrictions is not even discussed. There may be temporary fluctuations, it is normal for the economy. The National Bank has enough resources to smooth out some fluctuations. We’ve been over this many times,” said the Prime Minister.
On February 25, the Belarusian ruble began to gain strength at the auction on the Belarusian Currency and Stock Exchange. But this strengthening has not yet had any effect on currency exchangers. The sale and purchase dollar rate exceeds 2.8 BYN.
