MINSK, 18 January (BelTA) – The planned redenomination in Belarus will not affect people’s living standards and bank deposits, Economy Minister Vladimir Zinovsky said in an interview to the Belarus One TV channel, BelTA informs.
“It will not affect the inflation rate, people’s standards of living, companies’ capital and bank deposits,” Vladimir Zinovsky said speaking about the redenomination in 2016.
“It is a technical issue to make the life of companies (first of all, their accounting departments) and people easier and more comfortable,” the minister stressed.
