 The Euro has been used as a trading currency in Cuba since 1998 , and Syria since 2006 . There are also various currencies pegged to the euro ( see below ) . In 2009 , Zimbabwe abandoned its local currency and used major currencies instead , including the euro and the United States dollar .

 The banking system of Belarus consists of thirty state @-@ owned banks and one privatized bank . On 23 May 2011 , the Belarusian ruble depreciated 56 % against the U.S. dollar . The depreciation was even steeper on the black market and financial collapse seemed imminent as citizens rushed to exchange their rubles for dollars , euros , durable goods , and canned goods . On 1 June 2011 , Belarus requested an economic rescue package from the International Monetary Fund .

 In an effort to increase agricultural production , the kolkhozes ( collective farms ) were empowered to expel residents who were not pulling their weight . Kolkhoz leaders used this as an excuse to expel their personal enemies , invalids , and the elderly , and nearly 12 @,@ 000 people were sent to the eastern parts of the Soviet Union . Khrushchev viewed this policy as very effective , and recommended its adoption elsewhere to Stalin . He also worked to impose collectivization on Western Ukraine . While Khrushchev hoped to accomplish this by 1947 , lack of resources and armed resistance by partisans slowed the process . The partisans , many of whom fought as the Ukrainian Insurgent Army ( UIA ) , were gradually defeated , as Soviet police and military reported killing 110 @,@ 825 " bandits " and capturing a quarter million more between 1944 and 1946 . About 600 @,@ 000 Western Ukrainians were arrested between 1944 and 1952 , with one @-@ third executed and the remainder imprisoned or exiled to the east .

 In the end the reform proved unsuccessful . The government only managed to withdraw 14 billion rubles from circulation of the country 's money supply against an intended target of 81 @.@ 5 billion rubles . As a result , the Pavlov reform did not put an end to inflation . Prices for items including food and transport rose by 100 – 300 percent , while the Soviet standard of living decreased sharply and the state budget deficit increased by an estimated 20 – 30 percent of GNP . In the aftermath of the reform , inflation exceeded the 50 percent mark every month .

 Soviet citizens had only three days from 23 – 25 January to exchange their old 50 rouble and 100 rouble banknotes for the new currency . Exchange could be postponed , but only through specialised government commissions . Due to this short exchange window , long queues formed in front of Soviet savings banks , even though it was also possible to exchange money at workplaces and post offices . This reform also dealt a crippling blow to Soviet citizens who had saved their money and could not move fast enough to get it exchanged ; some lost as much as 15 @,@ 000 – 30 @,@ 000 rubles overnight .
