NBU Policy Moves and Economic Context
Separately, the NBU Board decided to hold its key policy rate steady at 15%. This decision was a significant step given the slowdown in inflation observed from June 2025 through January 2026. The central bank also approved a measure to swap non-cash foreign currency from banks for cash currency.
The current situation on Ukraine’s currency market reflects notable volatility, likely tied to broader economic factors like inflation and shifts in the global economy. Maintaining the discount rate at 15% signals the NBU’s commitment to curbing inflationary pressures and ensuring financial stability. These moves are particularly relevant for investors and businesses, as they directly influence lending conditions and overall economic activity.
