The Council of the National Bank of Ukraine decided to maintain a discount rate at 15.5%.
On July 24, the head of the National Bank Andria Peshny announced during a briefing press.
Maintaining the discount rate at the level of 15.5% is an important prerequisite for the return of inflation to a stable deceleration trajectory. At the same time, this decision will have a neutral impact on lending, taking into account the high competition of banks for high -quality borrowers, ”said Pisni.
It was expected that inflation would reach a peak in May and returned to a decrease in June – 14.3% of the year.
At the same time, it was higher than predicted, primarily from the influence of adverse weather conditions on food supplies. Instead, the slowdown in basic inflation up to 12.1% was a little faster than the forecast, ”Pashny added.
Price pressure was maintained from the price of food and business expenses for raw materials and wages.
The fluctuations in hryvnia to the US dollar were moderate, and at the same time, the euro at the same time had a small professional effect.
According to NBU, inflation will be significantly reduced by the end of 2025, its involvement to the goal is expected in 2027.
At the same time, in July, general inflation may increase slightly, while basic inflation will continue to decrease.
NBU also revised the predicted trajectory of inflation from more significant losses from the war to a slower decrease.
Its slowdown is up to 9.7% in 2025, 6.6% in 2026 and 5% in 2026 in 2027.
