The National Bank of the Republic of Belarus (NBRB), situated in the capital city of Minsk, is the central banking institution of the Republic of Belarus and the key regulator and supervisor of monetary and banking policy.
The bank was first established in 1922 as the Belarusian Republican Bank and subsequently operated under the auspices of the State Bank of the USSR. Following reorganisations in 1959 and 1987, the bank evolved into its present form in 1990, after declaring independence from the USSR and adopting national banking legislation.
The bank's activities are governed by the Banking Code, which took effect on October 25, 2000, and stipulates the NBRB's functions, including cash and non-cash settlements, as well as ensuring the safe operation of the interbank payment system.
