The amount still exceeds $3 billion, but the NBU states that sales of foreign currency in the interbank market are fully covered by international aid.
In January, the National Bank of Ukraine bought $28.5 million in the interbank foreign exchange market and sold $3,110.63 million. The negative balance reached $3,082.13 million, as evidenced by NBU data.
Thus, the NBU slightly reduced the sale of foreign currency in the interbank market compared to December last year, when $3,163.5 million was sold.
The volume still exceeds $3 billion, as in the summer of 2022, when there was the largest currency deficit, but the NBU notes that sales of foreign currency in the interbank market are fully covered by international aid .
In addition, the deputy head of the NBU, Yuriy Gelety, said that in the results of January, international reserves are expected to grow to $30 billion.
It was previously reported that the NBU kept the discount rate and worsened the GDP forecast. The Ministry of Economy said that last year Ukraine’s GDP fell by almost a third. This is the biggest drop in history, but better than expected.
