According to the deputy head of the National Bank Oleg Churia, Ukrainians should expect currency fluctuations associated with the seasonal factor, that is, the exchange rate before the New Year rose due to purchases from importers. Then we should expect a significant drop in the rate due to the entry of agrarians into the game, which usually provide about half of the currency supply in the interbank market during the year.
In the NBU planned to launch the hryvnia to domestic markets after the sale of $ 53 billion, which will help lower the rate to 26 hryvnia. To date, in international reserves, Ukraine has about $ 19 billion, which can and, most likely, will be used to contain the growth of the dollar.
"The National Bank has enough resources to smooth the course," sums up Chury.
As reported in "URA-Inform", earlier the National Bank of Ukraine named the reasons for which the level of inflation in 2017 deviated from the target value in the direction of acceleration.
