Since the beginning of the year, the National Bank sold $17.2 billion in the interbank market and bought only $118 million.
This week, the National Bank of Ukraine reduced sales of foreign currency against the backdrop of a moderate increase in the exchange rate of the Hryvnia. This was confirmed by data on the regulator’s website on Saturday, July 27.

So, in five working days, the NBU sold 785 million dollars on the interbank foreign exchange market, which is about 20% of last week’s figure ($950 million).
Also, a week later, the regulator bought 510 thousand dollars in the interbank market.
Overall, since the beginning of 2024, the National Bank sold $17.2 billion in the interbank market and earned more than $118 million.
As you know, recently the dollar exchange rate regularly updated its historical record. Overall, in July the official exchange rate of the Hryvnia fell by 2.6% or UAH 1.04. From the beginning of 2024, the dollar at the official exchange rate has become more expensive by 9.2% or 3.49 UAH.
But in recent days the trend has changed – the hryvnia has again gained some ground against the dollar. Today, the head of the National Bank, Andrei Pyshny, said that the stability of the foreign exchange market has been restored.
