August 13, Pozirk<\/em>.<\/strong> The government\u2019s plan to redirect a part of bank profits to the economy, as announced yesterday by Alaksandar \u0141uka\u0161enka, might affect banks\u2019 recapitalization programs, Anatol Charyton\u010dyk, senior researcher at the BEROC think tank, told journalists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“It is hard to say what the authorities are up to. Perhaps these are steps similar to those in Russia, which withdrew significant profits from the metalworking, oil and gas industries,” he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The expert questioned the move\u2019s effectiveness, noting that declared bank profits are unlikely to contribute even 0.5 percent to the consolidated national budget, contrary to \u0141uka\u0161enka\u2019s assurances to central bank chief Raman Ha\u0142o\u016d\u010danka. The Belarusian ruler claimed that bank profit growth diverted money away from the economy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bank profits grew by 12.3 percent in June month on month to about 2 billion rubels ($0.7 billion) on July 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
