MINSK, 21 March (BelTA) – The government and the National Bank maintained economic stability under external pressure, Chairman of the Board of the National Bank of Belarus Roman Golovchenko said as he met with heads of Belarusian banks, BelTA has learned.
“Following the personnel decisions in the banking community made by the head of state last week, questions arose in expert circles regarding whether there would be changes in the monetary policy of the National Bank and its other statutory functions. Some insinuations began to circulate. In this regard, I decided to invite heads of all banks to communicate my position and to answer questions,” said Roman Golovchenko.
He emphasized that in recent years, both the government and the National Bank have successfully addressed the tasks set by the president to ensure sustainable economic growth in the face of severe external pressure. “We have launched a new investment cycle, ensured budget stability, achieved the highest level of wages on record, successfully accelerated the de-dollarization of the economy and significantly boosted confidence in the national currency. And all this without structural imbalances. Therefore, I hope there is no reason to doubt that this policy will be continued,” the chairman of the Board of the National Bank noted.
