tania August 27, 2026 8:58 The National Bank of Belarus has recorded a large-scale transformation of citizens' preferences. First of all, the currency market experienced a record inflow of national money into deposits. This was reported by the deputy chairman of the regulator's board, Andrei Kartun. Thus, the volume of household savings exceeded the psychological mark of 25 billion rubles.

Currency market and the rejection of the dollar

At the same time, about 70% of all deposits are now ruble-denominated. However, just a few years ago, citizens preferred to keep their savings in dollars. Consequently, the population has been a net seller of currency for the third consecutive year. Meanwhile, the American currency is also losing ground in the structure of global reserves.

Decline in demand for the euro

In addition, the regulator is changing its approaches to the structure of external payments. Previously, the share of the European currency in settlements exceeded 20%. At the same time, today the figure is practically approaching zero. Moreover, the euro has finally ceased to enjoy the previous demand among market participants.
