After the abolition by the National Bank of Belarus of restrictions on currency exchange rate for currency sales to people in the morning on May 12, all commercial banks have held an actual 30% devaluation of the Belarusian ruble.
According to the data of May 12 at 11:00 a.m., VTB Bank (Belarus) offers the minimum rate for the dollar (Br3.920 per dollar), as well as Bank BBSB, Bank Moscow-Minsk, BPS-Bank and Technobank (Br3.950). The maximum rate for the dollar (Br3.999) was set by Delta Bank and TK Bank. The selling dollar rate is Br4.000 in all banks.

Meanwhile it’s become known that the National Bank didn’t lift its restrictions fully and strongly recommended commercial banks to keep Br4.000 dollar rate not higher.
As Telegraf previously reported, the majority of Belarusian commercial banks, except for three, switched into new exchange rates on May 11, shortly after the publication of the decision of the National Bank. Nevertheless, the currency in exchange offices has not appeared.
