The National Bank of Belarus has introduced a new graphic sign of the Belarusian ruble

The National Bank of Belarus has presented a new graphic sign of the Belarusian ruble. This was reported by BelTA on February 2.

"20 years ago, the graphic sign of the Belarusian ruble was chosen from two Latin letters — Br. We see that for some reason it did not take root, practically no one used it in calculations and publications. Therefore, it was decided to announce a competition," said Andrei Kartun, Deputy Chairman of the Board of the National Bank.

The winner was designer Vasily Shchebetun, whose work scored the maximum number of points during online voting and evaluation by the competition committee. He was awarded a certificate for 3,000 Belarusian rubles.

According to the publication, almost 2.7 thousand applications were received for the competition, and more than 22 thousand people took part in the final voting. The National Bank has developed a plan to popularize it and expects to see the symbol in stores and publications soon.
