“We have to admit. We live in new realities: it can increase, it can decrease. Depends on you, citizens. If we make a high-quality product, it will sell better,” Pasko called on Shuster Live, addressing the head of the National Bank Valeria Gontareva with a proposal not to hide behind the phrase “exchange rate balance.”
“If we stop fighting and attract investment, the exchange rate will be stable,” Pasko believes.
“The National Bank does not influence the war. God grant that it does not go beyond the territories in which it exists,” said expert Boris Kushniruk in turn. “Both businesses and the public are trying to buy dollars to protect themselves. We are at war,” he reminded of the need to take this factor into account.
At the same time, he called for all possible measures to be taken “so that we have money that is not printed for the army, but at the expense of the economy.” In particular, the government should stop putting pressure on the market and business.
Experts emphasized that the rate will stabilize when risks are reduced, for example, hostilities cease.
As PolitNavigator reported, the dollar exchange rate on the interbank market exceeded 16,25 UAH, and the euro – 20 UAH.
