As the Prime Minister of Belarus Roman Golovchenko told Belarus 1, the basis of his savings are Belarusian rubles. There is a small foreign currency deposit, left from the times when I received part of my salary in foreign currency in the Foreign Ministry.
The Prime Minister advised to follow the principles of any investor, which include any citizen who has some savings: "The first principle is classic, I will voice it from the Soviet cinema: "Keep your money in a savings bank," and the second principle is to keep your income in the currency in which you receive it."
The exception is if you get your income in one currency, but you need a different currency to buy imports, for example. Then it is necessary to increase the share in the corresponding currency: dollar, yuan, euro or Russian ruble, said the Prime Minister.
Roman Golovchenko:
“It is very important not to skip about from one currency to another. Do not run around exchanging rubles for dollars, dollars for yen, trying to win something with it. It may work out at some point, like in a casino, but more often statistically it does not work out. That is why, especially now, when the Belarusian currency feels quite confident and appreciates considerably both to the dollar and the euro (we have appreciated almost by 9% against the euro for four months). In these circumstances the choice is obvious.”
