March 10 (Reuters) - Belarusian President Alexander Lukashenko on Friday ordered the government to limit inflation in the country to "around 7%" on an annual basis, the state-run Belta news agency reported. Lukashenko, who last year banned price rises in a bid to tame inflation, said the government should use whatever tools it wanted to ensure price rises do not go above the target level.
