In total, since the beginning of 2023, Ukrainians sold more than $13.4 billion and bought almost $16 billion.
At the end of September, the population of Ukraine sold cash and non-cash money to banks in the amount of $1.589 billion (equivalent) and bought $2.033 billion. Net purchases totaled $444.3 million, according to data from the National Bank on Tuesday, October 3.
So, in September, Ukrainians increased the purchase of foreign currency three times compared to August, when it reached $148.5 million. At the same time, $485 million was purchased by the population in non-cash form.
In total, since the beginning of 2023, Ukrainians sold $13.463 billion and bought $15.868 billion. Net foreign currency purchases totaled $2.405 billion.
Remind us that at the end of August, the NBU allowed banks to sell non-cash money to the population in the amount of 50 thousand Hryvnias without further obligations. Because of this, the dollar exchange rate has depreciated significantly.
And the day before, the NBU announced the transition to a flexible dollar exchange rate. The regulator promised to significantly limit changes in the exchange rate, preventing either a significant weakening of the Hryvnia or its significant strengthening.
