Has the Belarusian Ruble been debased?+
Every fiat currency loses purchasing power over time as central banks expand the money supply. M2 has grown by approximately 389% over the past decade. Combined with cumulative inflation, this is the gap between BYN as accounting unit and BYN as a store of value.
Is the Belarusian Ruble sound money?+
