On the lands of the future Russian Federation, the ruble began to be used as a means of payment in the 13th century. The very word "ruble", according to one version, came from the verb "cut". According to another version, this name is explained by the peculiarities of the ancient technology of making coins. Initially, the ruble was made in the form of coins with different contents of precious metals. In the second half of the 18th century, paper money began to be printed.

After the denomination for 1 Belarusian ruble, 32 Russian rubles will have to be paid immediately. Well, the Belarusian currency, after "cutting off" four zeros, has become stronger? Answered by Konstantin Korishchenko, Professor of the Faculty of Finance and Banking, RANEPA
On July 1, a denomination took place in Belarus. The authorities "cut off" 4 zeros at once. We decided to find out from Konstantin Korishchenko, professor at the Faculty of Finance and Banking, RANEPA, former deputy chairman Central Bank of Russia, why it was necessary and what it will give for the economy.
Denomination starts in Belarus on July 1 national currency. You should not be afraid of the overseas word - at its core, this is an exclusively technical operation. Old-style banknotes are being replaced with new banknotes. At the same time, four zeros will disappear from them.
- Why was the denomination of the Belarusian ruble necessary?
In short, to simplify economic turnover. Both in practical life and in calculations, extra numbers are an additional risk of making a mistake. That's why a large number of zeros created a certain discomfort and interfered economic activity states. This is the main goal of any denomination. A side effect is the strengthening of the national currency rate in the state. The denomination increases its stability, removes the excess money supply from turnover.
- Why did you decide to cut exactly 4 zeros on banknotes, and not, say, 3?
At one time in Russia they reduced 3 zeros - then there was such a scale of prices that it was more convenient to use a ratio of 1000: 1. Well, in Belarus, the scale of prices is different, respectively, they adjusted to it.
- For 1 dollar now they give 2 Belarusian rubles. Is the Belarusian ruble stronger than the Russian one now?
- Maybe now in Russia to carry out a denomination?
And this, by the way, is a perfectly reasonable question. I think the authorities can come to this. For example, for a convenient settlement system, it is better when exchange rates in pairs are within 100. That is, if a dollar or euro, for example, costs more than 100 rubles, this will be a reason for denomination. Although there is an example of Japan, where more than 100 yen is given for a dollar, and the government does not change anything. But this is rather an exception.
1 US dollar - 2.0053;
1 euro - 2.2210;
100 Russian rubles - 3.1212;
1 lev - 1.1366;
100 hryvnia - 8.0647;
10 zł - 5.0248;
100 yen - 1.9523;
10 Chinese yuan - 3.0167;
10 Turkish lira - 6.9252;
£1 - 2.6880;
100 Czech crowns - 8.2059;
1 Swiss franc - 2.0467.
The Russian ruble is declining against all currencies, including against the Belarusian ruble, Vadim Iosub, senior analyst at Alpari, notes.
According to him, the main reason for the fall of the Russian currency is US sanctions. The expert recalls that in April the United States imposed sanctions against 24 major Russian businessmen and officials. Since yesterday, sanctions have been in place due to the poisoning of the Skripals.
These purely Russian cases were superimposed on the currency crisis in almost all developing countries ah: there was a serious fall in the Turkish lira and the Brazilian real, backfired in Mexico, in South Africa, - states the economist.
The expert emphasizes that almost all currencies of the CIS states are declining against the dollar. However, the Belarusian ruble looks even better currencies other developing countries where there are foreign investors.
But not because we have such a strong ruble or a strong economy. It's just that there are practically no foreign investors in the market of public debt denominated in Belarusian rubles. They didn’t come here, so they don’t leave here, - the analyst notes.
Apparently, the current US sanctions against Russia are not the last ones. On August 21, Congress held hearings on new anti-Russian sanctions related to Crimea, Donbass, and election interference in the United States.
In the future, everything is not very simple. For Belarusian economy the consequences of the tax maneuver can be very painful. The issue of duty-free deliveries of oil products to Belarus has aggravated, - says the economist.
Also, according to him, it is not yet clear whether the official Minsk will receive a Russian state loan of $1 billion.
According to the expert, if the government of Belarus resolves oil issues with the Russian Federation and agrees on a loan, then the weakening Russian ruble will fall against the Belarusian one.
If we do not solve our problems, the Belarusian and Russian rubles will fall simultaneously. And the dollar will grow stronger against the Belarusian ruble, Vadim Iosub predicts.
He believes that for the time being it is not worth making changes in the currency basket of Belarus, where today 50% is the Russian ruble, 30% - the dollar and 20% - the euro.
While almost 50% of Belarusian exports go to Russia, it is quite reasonable that the Russian ruble also occupies half of the basket. If the geographic and monetary structure of our exports seriously changes, then only then will there be a reason to talk about a change in the currency basket, - believes a senior analyst at Alpari.
The economist recalls that the leadership of Belarus talks a lot about the need to diversify the geography of exports, but in reality nothing changes: Russia remains the main sales market.
This addiction is harmful and painful. hit on Russian economy automatically means a decrease in demand for Belarusian products, Vadim Iosub emphasizes.
Due to what the Belarusian ruble wins back its positions? AiF asked to answer this question candidate economic sciences Elena SEMAK.
Semak Elena Adolfovna - Associate Professor of the Department of International economic relations faculty international relations Belarusian State University.On the exchange rate(i.e., the ratio of the price of the national currency to a foreign one, for example, the Belarusian ruble to the dollar) is influenced by supply and demand for foreign currency. Dollars and euros are needed by enterprises that buy goods for import, as well as by the population - for tourist trips abroad or for the purpose of savings. At the beginning of 2017, the volumes of foreign currency purchased by these two categories decreased.
According to the National Bank, in January of this year, business entities - residents of the Republic of Belarus, bought more currencies than they sold, the difference amounted to 13.1 million USD. This is much less than in January last year, when this excess amounted to 198.2 million USD.
At the same time, our exporters increased their revenue. Compared to January 2016, sales volume foreign exchange by Belarusian enterprises in the first month of 2017 increased by 262.7 million USD. According to the expert, this indicates a possible improvement in the state of Belarusian foreign trade.
Thus, the first factor that influenced the strengthening of the Belarusian ruble was an increase in supply and a decrease in demand for foreign currencies on the part of business. It is also necessary to add: Belarusian enterprises prefer to buy foreign currency from banks (on the over-the-counter market). On the Belarusian Currency and Stock Exchange (BCSE), they purchased only 14.3 million USD, while outside the exchange - 1,278.1 million USD. Namely, exchange rates are set on the stock exchange.
The second factor, according to the expert, was high level expenses of the population during the holidays (dollars were exchanged for rubles, for which goods for a feast were then bought), the third factor is the low level of income, which forces the population to spend foreign currency savings.
Another aspect is political: a sharp weakening of the European currency on the BCSE was caused, to a large extent, by the depreciation of the euro against the US dollar in the Forex market. This is due to fears that Marine Le Pen, the leader of the National Front, could take the presidency of France, which, if she wins, could withdraw the country from the euro zone and initiate the return of the franc as the national currency of France.
According to Elena Semak, one should not forget that the Russian ruble is strengthening at the same time.
The exchange rate of the Belarusian ruble is determined by the amount (basket) of 3 currencies: euro, dollar, Russian ruble. And the share of the latter in the basket is 50%. Most of our foreign trade is connected with Russia, and in relation to the Russian ruble, the Belarusian ruble is weakening.
Forecasting further changes in the exchange rate is a very difficult task. At the end of 2016, the majority of economists expected, at best, a gradual depreciation of the Belarusian ruble at the same pace as inflation. The further forecast of the development of the Belarusian ruble exchange rate depends on the success of our foreign trade, the growth or decline in household incomes and fluctuations in foreign exchange rates on world markets.
The following main factors influenced the strengthening of the Belarusian ruble:
