MINSK, 11 March (BelTA) - New Chairman of the Board of the National Bank of Belarus Roman Golovchenko, who previously served as Prime Minister of Belarus, commented on his appointment and shared his plans during his meeting with members of the Board of the National Bank on 10 March, BelTA has learned.
Roman Golovchenko called his appointment a seamless transition, as the banking system is closely linked to the country's economy.
“It is necessary to ensure economic growth, maintain macroeconomic stability and sustainability of the banking system. We managed to do this despite the sanctions. During a difficult period for the economy, the financial system confirmed its stability. We looked for and found tools to support the economy. We were always able to find constructive solutions,” Roman Golovchenko said.
The National Bank is facing a wide range of tasks to fulfill in the very near future, he stressed. “This pertains to the digital sector in the first place. We need to better understand this issue, the role of the National Bank in regulating these processes. We will consult and make appropriate decisions. Working with you, I have always seen that there is a good atmosphere for making balanced decisions here, the opinions of everyone, from deputy chairpersons to experts, are taken into account. I am not going to break this system. It is important to analyze the problem from all sides and make the right decision,” the chairman of the National Bank said.
The constructive interaction between the National Bank and the government will continue, he said. “As the president said, it is one block, which solves one task, just each performs its own function. This is how it all will work,” Roman Golovchenko added.
