Maintaining a stable benchmark rate and controlling inflation are central pillars of the NBU's monetary policy, aimed at fostering a predictable economic environment. The variation in rates among commercial banks reflects an active and liquid currency market where supply and demand dynamics create diverse pricing. The central bank continues to monitor the situation closely to ensure broader financial stability in the country.
