The head of the parliamentary committee on financial issues, Daniil Getmantsev, wrote about this on Telegram.
According to him, the highest rates of hryvnia devaluation were observed in January and June based on the average monthly exchange rate. Throughout the year, the hryvnia gradually weakened each month, except for October when the exchange rate stabilized.
Last year, the demand for currency significantly exceeded its supply across all market segments—both cash and non-cash.
As a result, in 2024, the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) remained a key player in the currency market.
“The volumes of net currency interventions to support the exchange rate, which is the difference between the NBU's sales and purchases of currency on the interbank market, amounted to $34.8 billion, including a record $5.3 billion in December. For comparison, in 2023, $28.6 billion was spent to support the exchange rate, and in 2022, $25 billion,” Getmantsev wrote.
