In five working days, the sale of foreign currency was reduced by more than half – from $320.9 million to $156.8 million. In turn, the purchase remained at a relatively high level – $23.11 million.
Overall, since the beginning of this year, the National Bank sold more than $4.3 billion in the interbank market, and earned only $71 million.
By the end of the week, the official exchange rate was strengthened by 1 kopeck – to $38.1410 UAH/$1. In the cash market, the hryvnia exchange rate increased slightly – from 38.59 UAH/$1 to $38.53 UAH/$1.
Earlier it became known that in February, international reserves of Ukraine “lost weight” by almost 4% – up to $ 37.052 billion. Their volume was affected by the monetary interventions of the National Bank and the payment of the country’s debts.
It has also been reported that e-hryvnia will be tested in Ukraine. It will not replace the cash or non-cash form of the hryvnia, but will be a supplement to them, the National Bank assured.
