Magic tricks of Belarusian National Bank

Funny exchange “fluctuations” could be seen in the last two days.

It happened before and after the meeting between National bank chief Nadzezhda Yermakova and Alyaksandr Lukashenka, who returned from Sochi after a two-week vacation.

On February 6, the dollar was down 60 rubles, the euro – 130 rubles and the Russian rubles 3 rubles against the Belarusian rubles at the Belarusian Currency and Stock Exchange.

On February 7, the dollar was up 60 (!), the euro – 130 (!) and the Russian ruble 3 rubles against the Belarusian ruble, “Salidarnasts” reports.

Between the trading sessions, head of state Alyaksandr Lukashenka met with National Bank chief Nadzezhda Yermakova. The National Bank head reported the Belarusian ruble exchange rate remained stable for the last three months with only insignificant fluctuations. She marked the exchange rate of the national currency strengthened in late January-early February, Interfax.by informs.

What an amusing situation – the Belarusian ruble was “strengthened” ahead of the meeting with Lukashenka, but then everything came full circle.

That’s how the National Bank performs magic tricks.
