Speculators trade dollars at Br19000

"Black" currency market has again appeared in Belarus.

Despite a small exchange dollar rate decrease now it costs Br19000. Readers of "Zhlobin Online" provide with this information.

"Thus, there is the reoccurrence on the forex market the one we had in 2011. We remind that last time the authorities administratively restrained the rate at Br3000, but ultimately the Belarusian ruble fell several times", the paper says.

On the Internet, the dollar exchange rate fluctuates from Br17000 to Br25 000. By the way, purchasing online is also practiced at a commercial rate. If, for example, you might want to buy online kitchen scales at appliances.wikimart.ru for 2900 Russian rubles then you'll need to buy the Russian e-currency at least at Br260 rubles instead of Br228.

Meanwhile, many experts believe that a real dollar value in Belarus today is not less than Br18000. Mikhail Chyhir, the vice-Prime Minister, said that a dollar will cost at least Br30000 in 2015. Iaraslau Ramanchuk is more optimistic and believes that the dollar exchange rate if things shape up in our favor should not exceed Br20 000. Definitely, if only Belarusian authorities take appropriate economic measures. It is worth noting that the current situation on the currency market really resembles the crisis of 2011, and apparently to get out of it we must have another national currency devaluation.
