“Crypto market, cryptocurrency... What is it and how are we going to proceed?” the head of state asked Chairman of the Board of the National Bank Roman Golovchenko. “How can we use it, especially now, to facilitate payments? There has been a lot of talk about this, yet Belarus’ cryptocurrency market remains underdeveloped. What will our next steps be?”

Aleksandr Lukashenko noted that this topic had been discussed earlier with ex-chairman Pavel Kallaur. “We raised this issue before. IT specialists approached us, saying we should take action in this direction. So, how will we proceed? This is important for me and for the country,” the president said.
