Banking and Finance Workers' Day in Belarus
January 4 · Level 3 · #1748 of 2238
This is the professional day of Belarusian bankers, accountants, economists and other finance specialists who keep the country's money counted accurately and working. It is a nod to how much of everyday life rests on their precision.
How it is celebrated: banks and financial organisations hold congratulatory events, and the best employees receive awards and thanks. Teams gather for festive get-togethers, often mixing a toast with a look back at the year and plans ahead.
In 2016 Belarus redenominated its currency: ten thousand old roubles were exchanged for one new rouble. Specialists in finance and banking prepared and carried out that reform.
