Crowds of Belarusians storm exchange offices. Dollars sold without queue (Photo-report)

29

In connection with ruble devaluation, demand for currency in Belarus exceeds supply considerably.

Currency is almost not received by exchange offices at all, and they are selling only money sold by clients. But there are dozens and hundreds times more people who want to buy Euros or dollars.

The exchange office in “Rublyovski” supermarket, which is situated at the crossing of Plekhanau and Rakassouski Streets. The queue has stopped waiting for a client who would sell foreign exchange.

The exchange office in “Serabranka” market. It is unbearable to stand for hours in the frost waiting for a person selling dollars. And the worker of the exchange office said honestly that he hadn’t had foreign exchange since morning.

The queue for buying foreign exchange in “Underground city” in Dauhabrodskaya Street. There were no persons willing to sell it.

Tableware department. Fearing further price hike, people are buying even enamel pans.
