- Monetary Policy: To keep inflation at or below 5% until the end of December 2025, the National Bank of Belarus might adjust interest rates as needed[1]. As of March 2025, the inflation rate stood at 5.9%.
- Interest Rates in Europe: Interest rates in Europe vary, but there's no specific mention of Belarus in the lists[5]. However, neighboring countries' rates could influence Belarus' monetary policies.
