Rewritten Article
Get ready for a new era in digital currency! Instead of relying on traditional paper money, Belarus is stepping into the future with a central bank digital currency (CBDC), known as the digital ruble.
According to a statement from the National Bank's chairman of the board, Roman Golovchenko, the digital form of the Belarusian ruble is set to launch by the second half of 2026[1][2][3].
Gov. Golovchenko explains that business entities will soon be able to use CBDC, a digital form of the nation's official currency that is issued and backed by the central bank. The goal is to make the digital ruble available to both government bodies and individuals by 2027.
The National Bank is tasked with identifying the requirements for adopting the digital ruble, creating the necessary software, and developing a regulatory framework[1][3].
"The digital ruble is a top priority for us. We are actively working on its creation...We are facing the issue of the safety of funds. It will be very important to be able to track how digital money passes through the entire chain." said Gov. Golovchenko.
The digital currency holds promising potential for cross-border settlements, and Belarus is already collaborating with Russia, which is also working on creating its own CBDC[1][4].
"We are already working on a joint action plan for the use of these tools in mutual settlements." stated Gov. Golovchenko.
