BANKING AND FINANCIAL SYSTEM IN BELARUS

Belarus has a two-tier banking system: at one level is the National Bank of Belarus which acts as the country's central bank and licenses the second tier of banks - the commercial banks.

The laws «0n the National Bank of the Republic of Belarus» and «On Banking in the Republic of Belarus» regulate the banking business, and the relationship between customers and banks.

As of January 1, 1998, 38 commercial banks were registered by the National Bank. The banking system of the country employed about 41 thousand people or a bit less than one per cent of the economically active population.

The requirement of the minimal authorized capital for a bank to be registered is ECU 2 million for a Belarussian bank, and ECU 5 million for a foreign or jointventure bank.

Belarusian and foreign companies and individuals have the right to open accounts in Belarussian roubles and other currencies with any bank of their choice. Major Belorussian banks, including Belarusbank, Belagroprombank, Belpromstroibank, Belvnesheconombank, Priorbank and Belbusinessbank, provide their customers with the same spectrum of services as a prime bank in any other country. These services range from clean and documentary payments and commercial lending to trust, custodial and precious metal operations. Practically each Belorussian bank with general license is a member of S.W.I.F.T. and has Reuters Dealing system installed. This makes possible effecting settlements worldwide within a maximum of three banking days and to carry out transactions in international money, foreign exchange and securities markets. Payments in Belorussian roubles in the territory of Belarus are effected within one banking day.

Minsk Currency Exchange which daily fixes the exchange rates of USD, DEM, RUR and some other currencies plays an important role in the financial market of the country. These rates are normally used by the National Bank to determine the official exchange rates for the following day. There is also over-the-counter currency market where both resident and non-resident companies and banks can buy and sell foreign exchange against local currency at a rate that differs from the official one.
