MoolahMinds: A Journalist's PerspectiveMaxim Beloreckii, a keen observer of our nation's economics, offers some insight:
With wages increasing by a whopping 13% in 2024, there's been a continued surge in average wage growth since 2022 (despite tightening monetary policies), boosting both household savings and borrowing power across all credit products.
The financial sector has stayed stable, as banks invested more in government bonds, signaling improved liquidity for lending. Let's break down key trends by product category:
🚗 Consumer Loans: Likely got a boost from wage growth, but tightening policies in 2024 could gradually slow things down.🏠 Mortgages: No explicit numbers, but stronger income growth could fuel demand, even if higher interests might somewhat suppress the effect.💰 Deposits: Indirectly supported by wage growth (13% real increase) and lower projected poverty levels (0.49% in 2025) (so, people may be more confident about depositing their dough).🏢 Business Loans: Connected to FDI inflows (3.1% of GDP in 2024) financing the current account deficit, while private debt saw a minor decline.🚗🚚 Auto Leasing: No specific figures, but the RUB's moderate depreciation could make imported vehicles more pricey, potentially impacting both new and used auto leasing segments.💳 Credit/Debit Cards: No direct numbers, but increased wages usually lead to greater payment card adoption.
Three additional factors worth noting:
- The Belarusian ruble moderately devalued due to sanctions and reduced trade, but foreign reserves increased to $9.3B by Feb 2025.
- The current account deficit reached 3.1% in early 2024, partially financed by FDI.
