According to НБУ: Participants of the event discussed the economic forecast for Ukraine for 2026, noting that the National Bank's forecast and the consensus forecast are interconnected. According to the NBU, moderate economic growth of 2% and a decline in inflation to 6.6% by the end of the year are expected. In particular, there are hopes to achieve the target of 5% within three years.

According to Volodymyr Lepushynskyi, it is important to reduce inflation for economic stability. The NBU is taking measures to achieve this goal and also addresses imbalances in the financial sector, taking responsibility for the currency market.

The government continues to exchange currency for hryvnias at the National Bank, which affects both the budget and the currency market of Ukraine, taking into account the country's need for imported goods.
