Belarus flag Belarus

The Belarusian Ruble (BYR) was the official currency of Belarus until 2016, when it was replaced by the new Belarusian Ruble (BYN) through a currency redenomination. The National Bank of the Republic of Belarus manages the Ruble, which has undergone several devaluations due to economic instability. Belarus’s economy is state-driven, with strong industrial and trade ties to Russia.
