According to the road map, the main stages of the introduction of a digital ruble in Belarus include:

• 2026 – The digital currency will first become available to legal entities and business entities.
• 2027 – State institutions and the population will be connected to the system.

Currently, the National Bank is focused on solving three main problems relating to the launch of a new form of national vocationality:

• development of technical requirements for a platform for the attachment of an asset;
• creation of your own software that will ensure the functioning of the entire system;
• The formation of the regulatory framework, which will determine the rules for the release, circulation and regulation of the digital ruble.

The regulator pays special attention to safety and control issues. As Golovchenko emphasized, it is fundamentally important for the state to be able to track the movement of digital money throughout the chain of operations.

In terms of digital ruble, Belarus also actively cooperates with Russia. According to Golovchenko, countries are already developing plans to create infrastructure, which will allow the use of new forms of national currency in cross -border calculations.

The chairman of the Bank of Russia, Elvira Nabiullina, said that before the introduction of “numbers” it is necessary to work out all the details within the pilot project and hold “consultations with banks according to the economic model”. In January, it was reported that the Central Bank and the Ministry of Finance are tested by a new form of Russian national tax in budget operations.
