The national Bank says the strengthening of the hryvnia on the currency market first of the year
At the official exchange rate of the national Bank since the beginning of the year the hryvnia to the US dollar has strengthened by 3%. In may this indicator amounted to 0.6 percent, thanks to large foreign exchange earnings from non-residents.
NBU buys foreign currency to replenish international reserves. In may, the positive balance of these transactions amounted to 481 million dollars, and since the beginning of the year – $ 1 billion. This writes UNIAN.
The regulator also notes that further strengthening of the hryvnia contributed to the increase in supply of cash currency by the population. In may, the average daily sales of currency exceeded $ 40 million, which is more than two times higher than in the same period last year.
