The results of the implementation of monetary policy in the first quarter of 2026 were reviewed at an expanded meeting of the National Bank's board, BelTA reports.

«Inflation is steadily slowing down. Since the beginning of the year, consumer prices have risen by 1.6%, which is lower than projected (2.5%),» noted Dmitry Murin, Head of the Main Department of Monetary Policy and Economic Analysis at the National Bank.
It was also taken into account that the increase in utility service prices from January 1 was postponed to March 1.
«Even with this adjustment, the projected indicator changes from 2.5% to 1.9%, and the actual figure is 1.6%. This means we still observe a good downward trend in consumer prices,» Dmitry Murin added.
