The exchange rate will creep up.
In December of this year, the American currency will rise in price to 42.5 hryvnia, and next year – to 48 hryvnia.
This was stated by the executive director of the economic discussion club Oleg Pendzin on the air of Den Live.
According to him, 45 hryvnia per dollar was included in the budget, and the National Bank will monitor the macroeconomic rates included in the document.
“Previously, we had one rate, which was included in the budget, and the second, which was formed on the market. In fact, the only source of currency supply to the domestic market of Ukraine is the intervention of the NBU,” he explained.
Recall that last year the National Bank of Ukraine refused to fix the official exchange rate of the hryvnia against the dollar. During this time, the dollar has risen in price by almost 13% for a number of reasons.
NBU Governor Andriy Pyshnyy said that the National Bank of Ukraine will continue the policy of managed flexibility, but it is too early to return to a floating rate. At the same time, the NBU will avoid abrupt changes in the hryvnia to dollar exchange rate.
