All the most important economic obligations taken on in the current year must be fulfilled unconditionally. This is the task set by the President for the Government and the National Bank.
The head of state met with the head of the National Bank Pavel Kallaur and monetary system development assistant Valery Belsky. The President underlined: this meeting should not be perceived as a talk about the problems. On the contrary, the financial sector performed decently last year despite the external pressure. Belarus stood up to this pressure. As a result, the Belarusian ruble demonstrated resistance to external shocks. The national currency not only stayed strong during the year, but even strengthened its positions. This fact influenced the mood of depositors. Public confidence in the banking system has strengthened. This is a good base for further growth. The main thing is that geopolitical challenges should not be an obstacle to the development of the economy and improvement of the quality of life of people.
The government will pay special attention to the measures for controlling the inflation rate. Last year it did not fit into the planned corridor. This year the main requirement to the government and the National Bank is to ensure price stability. Unreasonable growth should be suppressed - the position of the President in this respect is principled.
