The paper reveals that the Belarusian financial sector has so far weathered the ongoing turmoil well, reflecting its relatively closed nature and the dominant role of state-owned banks. The regulatory and supervisory framework has improved since the 2004 FSAP. The planned overhaul of government-directed lending mechanisms in the context of the Stand-By Arrangement will help to ensure the long-term viability of the Belarusian banking sector.
