Pressure on prices will continue in the near term, but inflation will slow down next year
He noted that inflation will grow moderately in the coming months due to an increase in aggregate demand driven by budget spending, higher business costs for labor and electricity, and higher excise taxes.
However, the NBU's prudent monetary policy and the easing of external price pressures will help to gradually slow inflation and bring it back to the 5% target over the coming years. To achieve this goal, the NBU will, in particular, maintain a controlled situation in the foreign exchange market
