As NBN reports with reference to the analysis of experts from the investment company ICU, the bank-regulator will continue to lower the hryvnia exchange rate against the dollar.
In particular, the NBU recently lowered the official exchange rate of the national currency again after a 21-day strengthening, to a minimum, given the dynamics of the past 6 weeks. In addition, the NBU's currency “injections” increased by 6 percent, as the bank-regulator sold its reserve of 545 million US dollars.
Also, against the backdrop of a stable and calm situation on the domestic currency market, the NBU strengthened the official exchange rate of the American currency by 0.7 percent, and the price of the dollar in systemically important banks rose to 41.2-41.7 hryvnia/dollar, or almost 0.5 percent, according to weekly results.
Investors added that the dynamics of the rate increase showed that the NBU is comprehensively expanding the hryvnia rate variation and intends to further weaken it, since maintaining the national currency “strong” is unjustified and risky in the event of a negative development of the scenario with the provision of international assistance, especially if Kyiv does not agree to a 30-day truce.
