Belarus' individual bank deposits fall in May

MINSK, June 15 (Reuters) - Individual deposits in Belarussian banks fell in May, central bank data showed on Wednesday.

Rouble deposits fell to 9.2 trillion roubles -- $1.8 billion at current exchange rates -- as of June 1 from 10.1 trillion roubles on May 1. Foreign currency deposits shrank to $3.7 billion from $4.2 billion.

Belarus devalued its rouble by 36 percent on May 24 in an attempt to plug a large current account deficit that has drained a quarter of its foreign currency reserves this year.
