A significant slowdown in price growth is not expected in Ukraine.
This information was reported by Deputy Head of the NBU Sergei Nikolaychuk, reports URA-Inform.
The National Bank of Ukraine hopes that in March inflation will be close to 4%.
Deputy head of the NBU Sergei Nikolaychuk said that the inflation rate is slightly lower than the NBU predicted in January. This gave additional grounds for the central bank to reduce the discount rate to 14.5%.
It should also be noted that, according to the State Statistics Service, in February the growth of consumer prices in Ukraine slowed down to 4.3%. Let us add that in the first year of a full-scale war, consumer prices rose by 26.6%, and last year by 5.1%.
«So far we have 4.3% inflation for February results . In March, to be honest, we do not expect inflation to be below the lower limit of our target range (i.e. 4% – ed.). We expect inflation to be close to current levels», — said Sergei Nikolaychuk.
We recall that it was previously reported that assistance to Ukraine from the United States: Speaker Johnson made an encouraging statement.
