In general, since the beginning of this year, the population of Ukraine bought more than $3.2 billion from banks.
In April, the population of Ukraine sold cash and non-cash money to commercial banks in the amount of $1.5740 billion (equivalent) and bought $2.3020 billion. Net foreign currency purchases reached $746 million, according to data from the National Bank on Thursday, May 2.
The volume of currency purchases increased by 26.6% compared to March, when Ukrainians bought $574.9 million. In total, since the beginning of the year, the population bought $3.230 billion from banks.
In turn, the NBU sold $2.283 billion in the interbank foreign exchange market. Sales were 27.7% higher than in March ($1.788 billion).
Since the beginning of the year, the regulator has sold $8.112 billion. But these costs have been offset by international aid, which has reached $11.8 billion since the beginning of the year.
Let us remind you that the National Bank does not see a threat to the stability of the foreign exchange market due to changes in the Hryvnia exchange rate. The regulator believes they have the market prerequisites. Meanwhile, over the past month, the dollar has repeatedly updated records.
On the first day of May, the official dollar exchange rate continued to rise.
