Euro Currency Falls by Four Cents in Multiple Locations
In this article, we delve into what can be bought with two rubles in Belarus, based on a recent report.
The report, published without advertisements, focuses solely on purchases of domestically produced goods. The closing exchange rate for the Russian ruble (for ₽100) was Br3.6439, a decrease of 0.27 kopecks. However, the report does not include any information about the redenomination that occurred in July 2016 or the exchange rates of the euro, yuan, or dollar, or their closing exchange rates.
The yuan, specifically ¥10, could be exchanged for Br4.2505, while the closing exchange rate for the euro was Br3.5536. Interestingly, the dollar rose by almost a kopeck, with one U.S. dollar being approximately three Belarusian rubles today.
The report also mentions the introduction of the two-ruble coin in July 2016, originally equivalent to one U.S. dollar according to the National Bank. This coin can be used to purchase domestically produced goods.
The report provides a comprehensive list of items that can be bought with two rubles in various departments. In 2021, one could purchase very little in a retail store with two rubles, typically only small items or basic foodstuffs, as the purchasing power of the 2-ruble coin was quite low. Detailed information about specific goods is not directly apparent from the search results.
Despite the limited purchasing power of the two-ruble coin, it serves as a means of exchange for domestic goods, providing a practical solution for everyday transactions in Belarus.
