National Bank: Some citizens trust Internet more

Rumours about the devaluation of the Belarusian rouble have become a reason for long queues near currency exchange offices just like it happened a week ago.

"The rumours were distributed before the holidays on March 8 and everyone understood that it was a lie on March 9. The rumours appeared on Friday. The National Bank refuted it all, however, some citizens trust the Internet more”, - noted Anatol Drazdou, the National Bank’s press secretary, in an interview with BelaPAN.

He stressed that the banks should always be prepared for the increased demand for foreign currency.
