Banks increased imports of gold by 1% to USD 3.9 million equivalent in November and reduced imports of euros by 40% to USD 333 million equivalent in November.
This is according to data from the National Bank, Ukrainian News Agency reports.
In the reporting month, gold was imported for USD 3,938,000 equivalent, while in October this figure was USD 3,908,000, and in September - a record USD 9,370,000 equivalent.
In addition, during the reporting period, banks imported USD 695 million in cash, compared to USD 566 million a month earlier, while imports of cash euros in November amounted to USD 333.477 million equivalent, compared to USD 554.520 million a month earlier.
In total, in November, cash currency worth USD 1,033.805 million was imported in equivalent against USD 1,127.209 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.
