President makes important personnel decisions today

20 июля 2020
Ilona Lednickaya became the Chairwoman of the National Bank. It's a promotion for her. Several new personnel have been appointed at once at the bank’s Management Board. 

The monetary policy in the country was discussed. The global crisis caused by the pandemic has strengthened the role of the banking sector. Banks must ensure economic security and become a guarantor of financial stability in the real sector, according to Alexander Lukashenko. Available loans provide for business support. The National Bank refused to raise the refinancing rate. On the contrary, it decreases. 

The National Bank will first of all work to strengthen confidence in the Belarusian ruble and protect the citizens. The most important task of the five-year plan is to find investments. The priority is given to external loans with long-term borrowings. The President also demanded to continue liberalizing the currency and financial markets.

And former Finance Minister Maxim Yermolovich will work as the head of the diplomatic mission in the UK and Northern Ireland.
