21 March, Minsk /Anna Kot - BELTA/. The issue of compensating "Soviet" deposits in Belarus has not been removed from the agenda. This was stated by the Chairperson of the Board of the National Bank, Nadezhda Ermakova, during a live broadcast in the newspaper "Respublika", as reported by a BELTA correspondent. "The republican budget for 2012 does not provide funds for the compensation of "Soviet" deposits. In the future, everything will depend on the development of the economic situation in the country. But the issue has not been removed from the agenda," noted Nadezhda Ermakova. The issue of compensating 1990 bonds for consumer goods is also not being removed from the agenda. However, it is not currently being considered. "In the situation that has developed in the economy last year, and in the one that is forecast for the current year, there is no possibility to take such measures. But the issue has not been removed from the agenda. We hope that we will be able to return to it," said the head of the National Bank.-0-
