Government promises common rate "within a couple of months"
PM Mikhail Miasnikovich stated this on July 22 at the awarding ceremony “Best entrepreneur of the year”.
The government plans to achieve common Br rate at all market segments and is getting prepared to take total control over currency streams. However, in order to do that it is necessary to have the so-called "security cushion" - gold value resources with no rate-sensitive liabilities, no less than 2,5-3 Billion dollars, TUT.by informs.
Alongside with that, Mikhail Miasnikovich underlined that the government would not be led by the business circles, which allegedly did their best to sharpen the atmosphere around the situation with Br rate equalization. Representatives of the Union of Entrepreneurs and Employers named after Kuniauski demanded to abolish all the limitations with regard to fluctuations of currency rate against the official rate, or to widen the corridor which now makes +-2%. If the limitations are abolished, the rate will be established at the level 6-6,5 thousand Br for a dollar. If the government put it off further on, the rate may reach 8-8,5 thousand Br, entrepreneurs think.
