History
The Belarusian ruble has undergone a remarkable series of redenominations since Belarus gained independence following the Soviet Union's collapse in 1991. Initially, the Soviet ruble continued to circulate. Belarus introduced its own ruble in 1992, but the government's inability to control spending caused severe inflation throughout the 1990s and into the 2000s.
By 2000, the inflation had become so severe that Belarus redenominated the ruble at 1,000:1, replacing old banknotes with new ones. Yet inflation continued, and the largest denomination banknotes grew to 200,000 and then 500,000 ruble notes. By 2015, even basic purchases required thick wads of notes.
A second major redenomination took place on 1 July 2016. The new Belarusian ruble (BYN) replaced the old (BYR) at 10,000:1. Coins returned to circulation for the first time since the 1990s. The new ruble trades against the euro and US dollar under a managed float, with the National Bank of the Republic of Belarus managing policy amid continued pressure from fiscal deficits and sanctions linked to the political crisis following the disputed 2020 presidential election.
