«In Belarus, gold and foreign exchange reserves rose by $0.67 billion in February 2026 and reached $16.37 billion as of early March 2026, updating the historical maximum. The current level of reserves covers more than 3.5 months of imports of goods and services,» the EDB noted.

The main factor behind the growth was an increase in the value of gold within the reserve structure by $0.41 billion due to rising global prices (up 4.7%). The growth of reserve assets in foreign currency remained in place too ($0.28 billion).
