In Russia and Belarus are considering the issue of synchronizing the digital Belarusian and digital Russian rubles.
During the visit of the head of the republic Alexander Lukashenko to the exhibition of aviation systems, the head of the Administration of the President of Belarus Dmitry Krutoy and the deputy head of the Administration of the President of Russia Maxim Oreshkin informed Lukashenko about the main areas of interstate partnership.
In particular, Maxim Oreshkin noted that a connection should be established between the digital Belarusian and digital Russian rubles at an appropriate level that meets the interests of both countries.
As for Belarus, the concept of a digital Belarusian ruble was adopted here with the deadline for its implementation in the financial infrastructure until 2026. According to the project roadmap, the ruble platform should start working on a limited scale this year, and they plan to test cross-border payments on it. The system should be fully operational by the end of 2026.
