Since the end of April, the exchange rate of the Ukrainian currency against the dollar has strengthened by almost one hryvnia, according to Deputy Governor of the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) Yuriy Heletiy.
According to the NBU deputy governor, among the main factors that influenced the strengthening of the national currency was the reduction of military tensions at the Ukrainian border, resumption of non-residents’ interest in securities and sale of currency by businesses.
According to Heletiy, the official exchange rate of hryvnia against the dollar has strengthened by 4.5% since the beginning of the year. (Ukrinform/Business World Magazine)
