MINSK, 29 June (BelTA) – The National Bank of the Republic of Belarus looks to reduce the main interest rate to 22% in 2012 given the inflation at 20%, Chairwoman of the Board of the National Bank Nadezhda Yermakova told media on 29 June.

“The forecast is 22% given the inflation at 20%. I hope it will be so,” Nadezhda Yermakova said.
