Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko said in a meeting with Central Bank head Elvira Nabiullina that he and Russian leader Vladimir Putin agreed that the transition to the common currency is not a matter of today. It has been reported “BelTA”.
Lukashenko reminded that the Interbank Monetary Board of the Central Bank of Russia and the Belarusian National Bank are working in Belarus. According to him, “there are no questions” in connection with this situation.
“At the level of heads of state, I often quote you president, when it comes to creating a single currency, it’s not an easy process. And probably not today, as we agreed with the President of Russia,” Lukashenka told Nabiullina.
Lukashenka also praised the work of the head of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation under sanctions. According to him, even the “enemies” of Belarus and the Russian Federation admit that Nabiullina quickly settled the economic problems in Russia and the current exchange rate problems.
