On Monday, October 19, 2026, a significant event took place at the Belarusian Currency-Fund Exchange: the US dollar rate fell for the first time in a long time below the psychological mark of 3 Belarusian rubles. The American currency depreciated by 0.49%, the Chinese yuan lost 0.48%, while the Russian ruble, on the contrary, strengthened by 0.24%.
