Price for the Belarusian Eurobond of the first release on the Russian market has fallen sharply, having thus fueled the record growth in their profitability. The effective yield to maturity has risen from 8.82% to 9.41% per annum for February 18-24, indicating a decrease in foreign investors' confidence in Belarus as a borrower.

The ruble against the U.S. dollar has not changed, but has risen by 1.1% against the Russian ruble and by 1.6% — the euro.
