Belarusian ruble slides 2.2% in two days as dollar demand surges on BVFB

The US dollar appreciated 2.22% against the Belarusian ruble in two days, with USD/BYN reaching 3.0741 on the Belarusian Currency and Stock Exchange on high volume. The move suggests acute dollar demand, likely driven by local factors such as import demand or capital flight, though the underlying cause is not specified. This rapid depreciation of the ruble could signal mounting currency pressure in Belarus, with potential implications for regional FX stability.
