Sales totaled $546 million, down $193.5 million from the previous week, when reserve sales totaled $739.5 billion.
In the week from December 4 to December 8, the National Bank sold $546 million in the interbank foreign exchange market. The NBU reported this.
It was noted that $193.5 million less was sold than a week earlier, when sales from reserves reached $739.5 billion. At the same time, the regulator bought 1.99 million dollars, and a week earlier – 1.6 million.
In total, since the beginning of the year, National Bank has sold $26.094 billion and bought $216.65 million.
As reported, the NBU raised the exchange rate of the official dollar, although it fell in the interbank foreign exchange market and in exchange offices. The dollar exchange rate on Monday was set at 36.7424 UAH per 1 dollar (+0.0702 UAH). And the euro is worth 39.6010 hryvnias per 1 euro (+0.1050 UAH).
We remind you that from December 1, the National Bank removed all restrictions on the sale of cash currency to the population. After that, cash and official rates began to converge. The regulator believes this will help stabilize exchange rate expectations and increase the stability of the foreign exchange market.
