In September 2023, the net sale of currency by the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) amounted to USD 2.691 billion, which is 13.8% more than the August net sale (USD 2.4 billion).
This is evidenced by NBU data, Ukrainian News Agency reports.
So, in September, the NBU bought USD 0.001 billion at the interbank, and sold USD 2.692 billion.
In total, since the beginning of the year, the National Bank has sold USD 19.46 billion to maintain the market balance, while the NBU has purchased USD 196 million.
In August, the NBU bought USD 5 million at the interbank and sold USD 2,369 million.
For comparison, in August, the NBU's net interbank sale of foreign currency amounted to USD 2.364 billion, in July – USD 1.933 billion, in June – USD 1.798 billion, in May – USD 1,928 million, in April – USD 1,370 million, in March – USD 1 669 million, in February – USD 2.431 billion, in January – USD 3.082 billion, in December last year – USD 3,164 million, in November – USD 1.569 billion, in October – USD 2.032 billion, in September – USD 2,753 million.
The balance of NBU interventions according to the results of August was negative and amounted to USD 1,330 million, in July – USD 1.195 billion, in June – USD 3,956 million, in May – USD 3,354 million, in April – USD 2,203 million, in March – USD 1,776 million, in February – USD 308 million.
As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, on July 21, the NBU adjusted the official hryvnia exchange rate by 25% to 36.5686 UAH/USD.
From August 6, 2022, the NBU canceled the restriction, according to which banks and non-banking institutions had to buy cash currency from the population at a rate no lower than the official one.
The NBU allowed banks to sell more currency to the public.
Thus, from September 6, the amount of cash currency that the bank can offer to the population will include the entire amount of non-cash currency purchased by it from April 13, 2022, instead of half of it.
