According to Raman Halouchanka, the actual growth in reserves exceeded forecast indicators.
The last recorded sum announced by the head of the National Bank was $14.3 billion. However, as of January 1, 2025, they were only $8.9 billion.
Halouchanka emphasized that gold and foreign exchange reserves serve as a kind of financial "safety cushion" for the country. They can be used, among other things, to pay for imports in difficult economic conditions. He also noted that Belarus has for the first time surpassed the internationally recognized threshold where the volume of reserves allows covering the country's imports for three months.
The global increase in gold prices significantly influenced the growth of reserves. However, according to Halouchanka, an increase in foreign exchange inflows within the country also played a significant role.
Raman Halouchanka hopes that the positive dynamics of gold and foreign exchange reserve growth will continue next year.
