Today, the National Bank released its monitoring report on banking lending conditions for the third quarter, revealing that banks anticipate a significant surge in demand for investment loans during the fourth quarter.

Banks also expect a relaxation of lending conditions in Belarusian rubles during the fourth quarter.

The primary driver of this change is a decrease in interest rates.

Lower rates act like an open faucet, making money more accessible and driving up demand.

In the banking sector, 68.1% of loan agreements were concluded through remote banking systems.
