Ukraine a few years ago switched to a flexible course, but this does not mean that the National Bank does not react in any way to a significant hryvnia fluctuation. On this Tuesday, January 30, in an interview with the newspaper "Today" told the deputy head of the National Bank Dmitry Sologub.
According to him, if the regulator sees that the prices for the main export goods are quite high, the situation with the economy is normal, there are no fundamental reasons for devaluation, then it will not interfere in the situation. If someone wants to run and buy dollars before the New Year, and the rate grows by ten cents, why should the National Bank spend its reserves.
The NBU conducts currency interventions only when there are some weighty reasons for this, "explained Sologub, adding that the NBU can not introduce a policy of mandatory response to the growth of the dollar.
Recall, as reported URA-Inform, the National Bank of Ukraine has improved the conditions for the sale of foreign currency by customers of banks in the interbank foreign exchange market. The corresponding decision was approved by the Resolution "On Amending Certain Normative-Legal Acts of the NBU" No. 7 of January 25, 2018. The document comes into force on January 27, 2018.
