After skipping its March meeting, the National Bank of the Republic of Belarus (NBRB) decided to hike rates by an aggressive 75bp in April to nip the problem in the bud, raising the prime rate to 8.5%.
As elsewhere, the prices of foods are the main driver and increased by 0.9% from March 2021 and by 4.6% from December 2020.
Prices for non-foods rose by 0.8% from March 2021 and 4.7% from December 2020.
