On the fact that such a change can be introduced only if the role of the euro currency in the settlement operations of Ukraine is strengthened, writes NBN, citing the official page of the National Bank Ukraine.

According to the “Council of Oversight Indicators of the Money and Foreign Exchange Markets”, given the fixed growth dynamics of the US dollar, it is necessary to take into account the European integration aspirations of Ukraine, and in the near future raise the issue regarding the transition from  American to European, “as the main currency of the exchange rate peg.”

In addition, bankers came to the following conclusions:

  • contrary to the correspondence of the indicators of the foreign exchange market of Ukraine and&nbsp ;calculation methodology to the appropriate conditions and needs of the market, it is necessary to expand the procedure for calculating the reference value of the hryvnia to euro exchange rate;
  • expediency has emerged regarding the transition to a unified/daily list of currencies, providing for the determination of the official hryvnia exchange rate.
