The National Bank of Ukraine forecasts a decrease in international reserves to $32 billion by the end of 2026 due to a reduction in financial assistance and currency outflows. The reserves will remain sufficient to ensure the stability of the foreign exchange market.
A significant outflow of foreign currency from the private sector will lead to a decrease in Ukraine's international reserves. This was reported by the National Bank of Ukraine in its Inflation Report for July, UNN reports.
A reduction in international financial assistance amid significant net outflows from the private sector will result in a gradual decline in international reserves to $32 billion by the end of 2026. However, their level will remain sufficient to ensure the stability of the FX market
