Deputy Chairman of the National Bank of Ukraine Oleg Churiy said this in an interview with Hromadske Television, The NBU press service reports on its Facebook page.
“For macroeconomic and financial stability, the date of receipt of the funding tranche from the International Monetary Fund is not important. For us, it is fundamental that Ukraine is in a program with the IMF,” Churiy noted.
According to him, the postponement of the meeting of the IMF Board of Directors on the hryvnia exchange rate does not have a significant impact. After all, the hryvnia exchange rate now depends not on volatile capital flows, as happens in many countries of the world, but on the export-import operations of businesses, which do not react so quickly to such news.
Let us remind you that the issue of further financing of Ukraine is not on the agenda of the meetings of the Board of Directors of the International Monetary Fund, which is scheduled until March 31, 2017. This is due to the decision of the Kyiv authorities to legalize the blockade of Donbass, which entails the need to adjust the main economic indicators of Ukraine downward.
By the way, the NBU official’s interview with Hromadsky is titled very symptomatically and eloquently: “Nationalization” of the self-named “DPR” and “LPR” enterprises will lead to the collapse of the Ukrainian economy.”
