The National Bank bought доларів 375 million on the interbank market in a week

The increase in foreign currency supply on the interbank market, due to active exports and significant revenues from the sale of government bonds last week, continued to strengthen the hryvnia exchange rate against the dollar.

During the week, the hryvnia strengthened from 27.21/27.23 to 27.01/27.03 UAH/., and only the constant purchase of foreign currency surpluses by the National Bank kept the dollar from collapsing, which would not benefit exporters and could lead to sharp jumps in the exchange rate due to restraining currency sales.

From June 7 to 11, the National Bank purchased 3 375 million on the interbank market, of which 3 355 million was purchased as part of interventions at a single exchange rate and.20 million with the choice of the best price.

According to forecasts of JPMorgan Bank analysts, by the end of 2021, Ukraine may receive additional external financing in the amount of 3 3 billion, provided that the IMF allocates the second loan tranche by September of this year. They also predict that international reserves will grow to 3 32.5 billion due to an increase in foreign exchange reserves by.600 million and an additional issue of SDR by the IMF by. 2.7 billion, which will ensure greater foreign currency inflows to the country than its outflow.
