Banks increased the import of cash dollars by 27% to USD 420.3 million and reduced the import of euros by 46% to USD 213.2 million in equivalent in August.
This is evidenced by data from the National Bank, Ukrainian News Agency reports.
Thus, during the reporting period, banks imported USD 420.3 million in cash against USD 332 million a month earlier, while the import of cash euros in August amounted to USD 213.214 million in equivalent against USD 395.128 million a month earlier.
In addition, gold worth USD 1,084,000 in equivalent was imported in the reporting month.
In total, in August, cash currency worth USD 635.672 million was imported in equivalent against 731.692 million a month earlier.
As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, the National Bank is considering the possibility of changing the base currency for currency policy orientation - from the US dollar to the euro.
Such a scenario is still hypothetical, but is due to a number of geopolitical and economic factors.
