“It is a great problem,” confessed the chairperson of the board of the largest Belarusian bank, Belarusbank, Nadzeja Yermakova.

“Belarusbank’s” chairperson of the board is concerned by the outflow of ruble deposits of the population from the bank system, Interfax-Zapad reports.

“About Br 5-7 billion a day are pulled from retail deposits. It is a problem today,” Nadzeja Yermakova said to journalists in Minsk on Thursday.

As said by her, this tendency is typical for September. “Outflow of ruble deposits continues for about a month, it increased in the beginning of the month, and now a relatively steady outflow is taking place,” she said.

Yermakova supposes that one of the reasons for the outflow of ruble deposits of the population usual for September was “the informational war of Russian media against Belarus”.
