MINSK, 7 May (BelTA) – Belarus’ banking system operated stably in the first quarter of 2026, Chairman of the Board of the National Bank of Belarus Roman Golovchenko said at an expanded meeting of the National Bank Board, BelTA has learned.
“Assessing the key results of the first quarter, we can say that the banking system has been functioning steadily and is generally fulfilling the tasks assigned to it. Banks continue to steadily build up their long-term resource base. Demand for credit resources from households and the real sector is being fully met. Inflation is slowing down. Its annual dynamics are below the target trajectory. In January-March 2026, prices rose by 1.6% against the upper threshold of 2.5%,” Roman Golovchenko noted.
