The first working week will be decisive for the hryvnia exchange rate in August. This was announced by economist Alexander Okhrimenko.

According to him, the exchange rate of 40 hryvnia generally suits everyone, no special excitement is predicted now, however, there are two factors that can significantly affect the exchange rate.

" But since the real inflow of foreign currency from exports will begin no earlier than September, the front-line situation remains the main factor influencing the exchange rate,"

In general, he predicts that the dollar exchange rate will remain in the range of UAH 40-41 in August..

Earlier it was reported that the National Bank will have to choose between two strategies regarding the dollar exchange rate: to collapse the hryvnia gradually in order to mitigate the shock for the population or to support it artificially, spending financial reserves on this.
