Today, exactly 2 weeks have passed since the National Bank announced the transition to a regime of exchange rate flexibility. During this time, the regulator reduced the official exchange rate of the dollar by 20 kopecks, while spending almost 1.74 billion dollars. This situation raises many questions, there are different versions about the purpose of such a policy, from business appeasement to conspiracy theories. The most interesting thing is that this is happening in conditions of possible financial hardship and a decrease in the gold and foreign currency reserves of the NBU. Despite different opinions, one thing is important - the situation needs careful analysis and consideration.
