Government preparing comprehensive plan to support economy

A comprehensive plan to support the economy will be prepared by the operational situational headquarters of the government. This was stated by the Prime Minister at the meeting of the Presidium of the Council of Ministers. In general, the prime minister called the situation on the financial market stable and manageable. There is an increased demand for foreign currency from enterprises, but there is no shortage of it. At the same time, the realities of the day such as new Western sanctions against the financial and industrial sectors of Belarus and Russia are forcing them to take comprehensive measures. Today, a disconnection from SWIFT is being discussed; a number of Russian banks are already on this black list. Therefore, the National Bank was instructed to work out new channels for payments. One of the proposals under discussion is the possibility of decoupling energy payments from the dollar and a possible transition to price fixing in Russian rubles.
