The National Bank of Ukraine collaborates with universities to prepare a personnel reserve for the financial and economic sector of the country. Experts regularly visit Ukrainian universities and engage students to work in the bank. Recently, the First Deputy Governor of the NBU, Serhiy Nikolaychuk, conducted a lecture for students of the Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv, where he discussed inflation targeting in Ukraine and the transition to an IT regime in 2015. He emphasized the importance of responding correctly to deviations from the inflation target and stabilizing inflation expectations during external shocks.
“Inflation targeting is not an 'autopilot', but a system that requires professionalism and promptness in solving problems. The IT regime is an important tool for adapting to various economic conditions,” Nikolaychuk emphasized.
The National Bank's future plans include a return to the classic IT regime with a floating exchange rate after the normalization of security conditions. Students who attended the lecture also had the opportunity to ask their questions and visit the NBU Money Museum for a better understanding of the processes at the central bank.
