Zaika: Belarusian rubel likely to weaken against Russian currency
The
weaker Russian ruble is unlikely to
affect the Belarusian currency, economist Leanid Zaika told ERB.
The
Russian currency fell by almost one ruble against the US dollar and by about 50
kopecks against the euro on August 11.
Zaika
said that the Russian currency is likely to strengthen against the Belarusian
rubel in the long term, noting that trade with the EU helps slow the rubel's
depreciation.
