As indicated by the regulator, the corresponding reserves for the last month increased by $ 1.2 billion.
As of July 1, the volume of Ukraine’s international reserves exceeds $ 20.6 billion.
As the National Bank of Ukraine explains, the growth of reserves is associated with the placement of Eurobonds and the purchase of foreign currency in the international market. It is specified that in June they managed to get € 1 billion from the placement of Eurobonds, $ 325.8 million from the Government bonds and € 148 million. Some of this money was sent to repay the state debt.
Also, the report emphasizes that the reserves were positively affected by the favorable situation in the foreign exchange market and the revaluation of financial instruments.
Earlier in the parliament said that in 2019, payments of Ukraine on public debt will amount to almost 40% of the budget.
