The National Bank of Ukraine has increased the sales of dollars in the interbank foreign exchange market. In five working days of the last week of May, the NBU sold over $ 653 million, which exceeds the previous week when the sale was 618 million. However, the purchase of currency was not made by the regulator.
Since the beginning of 2025, the National Bank has sold more than $ 14 billion in the interbank market, and has only purchased $ 35 million. Such data indicate the active currency policy of the National Bank aimed at maintaining the stability of the national currency and regulating the foreign exchange market.
Increasing currency sales may be associated with the need to meet state needs, as well as stabilize the hryvnia in the current economic situation. In this case, the lack of currency purchase indicates the desire of the regulator to retain the currency supply at a sufficient level to balance the market.
Experts emphasize that such a policy of the National Bank is an important component of macroeconomic stability, but requires careful monitoring, as excessive sale of currency can affect the country's international reserves.
