Experts do not predict drastic changes in the dollar exchange rate until the end of August. The main reasons are the lack of bad news for Ukraine and the end of the holiday season.
“All events with the exchange rate on the market will not begin before September, but even then I do not expect any jumps in the exchange rate related to the distortion of supply and demand, because the regulator will not allow this,” – said the head of the Secretariat of the Council of Entrepreneurs under the Cabinet of Ministers, economist Andriy Zablovskyi in the comment of TSN.
In his opinion, the hryvnia may even strengthen this week due to the increase in demand. At the same time, he reminded that the end of the month is the time for companies to pay taxes and accumulate funds for salary payments.
“At the interbank, the supply of currency from exporters will increase, which will lead to a depreciation of the dollar and euro. The average cash rate will remain in the cash corridor: from 41.20 to 41.80 UAH/dollar, but will shift to the lower limit,” the economist believes.
For his part, the member of the Economic Discussion Club Oleg Pendzyn noted that a short-term decrease in the dollar exchange rate is possible in connection with the beginning of the academic year.
“Parents of schoolchildren and students will hand over foreign currency to buy everything they need for studying, and this is insignificant, but it will lower the dollar rate by the end of August,” the expert predicted.
