Ukrainians began to actively buy dollars in cash. The banks set 47.0 UAH/$ in the cash register, and the NBU sets a new record in the official rate The NBU does not stop the devaluation of the hryvnia, and today set a new historical record for the official exchange rate of the hryvnia/dollar at 45.6660 UAH/$, although the previous one was recorded only last Wednesday, October 28 (45.60 UAH/$). "If in the previous weeks we saw a man-made devaluation of the hryvnia from the National Bank to cover the deficit in the state budget, now in the interbank market there is a considerable increase in the real demand for the dollar, which can be seen in the foreign exchange trading volumes - they are moving on a daily basis no longer in the area of ​​300 million dollars, but around 400 million dollars at 9%, which is a significant increase of (plus a third). Sold by the NBU, as at the start of a full-scale invasion in 2022. Due to problems in logistics, warehousing and production, many exporters have reduced their foreign exchange earnings. And those who keep it at high levels are now trying to hold the dollar in anticipation of an even higher rate," Strana, the finance director of a large bank, commented on the situation. The volume of trading in the main interbank market (Bloomberg) today amounted to 441.5 million dollars. The cheapest purchase there was recorded at 45.51 UAH/$, and the most expensive - 45.81 UAH/$, which is also a new record for the peak value. Bank treasuries point out: the more the ribania decreases, the less desire exporters have to sell their foreign exchange earnings in the interbank market. They want to convert it at a higher price, so they hold it in anticipation of peak rates; Probably the current values ​​do not seem maximal for our business. Therefore, the National Bank had to cover the lack of dollars in the non-cash market, and on the other hand, the devaluation was considered not particularly profitable for it. In recent days and weeks, the rapidly increasing dollar expenditures of the National Bank from its gold reserves and foreign currency, which can be traced according to official statistics, are especially noticeable.
