Ukraine<\/span> expects<\/span> to receive<\/span> funding<\/span> from<\/span> the European<\/span> Union<\/span> in<\/span> the first<\/span> weeks<\/span> of April,<\/span> despite<\/span> the position<\/span> of Hungarian<\/span> Prime<\/span> Minister<\/span> Viktor<\/span> Orban.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

This<\/span> was stated<\/span> by the Chairman<\/span> of the National<\/span> Bank of<\/span> Ukraine ,<\/span> Andriy<\/span> Pyshny,<\/span> in<\/span> an interview<\/span><\/a> with Bloomberg.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

According<\/span> to him<\/span> ,<\/span> even<\/span> in<\/span> the event of<\/span> a delay<\/span> in funds,<\/span> Ukraine<\/span> has<\/span> a backup<\/span> plan.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Pyshny<\/span> explained<\/span> that<\/span> it is difficult to replace<\/span> EU<\/span> assistance<\/span> on<\/span> such<\/span> a scale<\/span> ,<\/span> but<\/span> the National Bank<\/span> has prepared<\/span> mechanisms<\/span> that<\/span> will<\/span> maintain<\/span> financial<\/span> stability.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

“I have a whole shelf in<\/span> my<\/span> office<\/span> with<\/span> all<\/span> these<\/span> Plan<\/span> Bs<\/span> .<\/span> I<\/span> could<\/span> even<\/span> start<\/span> courses<\/span> on<\/span> how<\/span> to<\/span> make<\/span> them<\/span> ,<\/span> “<\/span> he said<\/span> .<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As<\/span> the head<\/span> of the NBU explained<\/span> ,<\/span> there are<\/span> two<\/span> main<\/span> sources<\/span> that<\/span> can<\/span> help<\/span> cover<\/span> a possible<\/span> shortage<\/span> of funds.<\/span> These are<\/span> the<\/span> domestic<\/span> public<\/span> debt<\/span> market<\/span> and<\/span> the monetization<\/span> of budget<\/span> needs.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

At the same<\/span> time<\/span> , Pyshny<\/span> noted<\/span> that<\/span> increasing<\/span> gold and foreign exchange<\/span> reserves,<\/span> which<\/span> other<\/span> central<\/span> banks<\/span> use<\/span> during<\/span> wars<\/span> ,<\/span> is<\/span> not<\/span> an optimal<\/span> solution for<\/span> Ukraine<\/span> .<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

According to<\/span> him<\/span> ,<\/span> in<\/span> wartime<\/span> ,<\/span> it is important<\/span> for the country<\/span> to maintain<\/span> a high<\/span> level<\/span> of liquidity.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

It was previously reported that Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban is ready to unblock an EU loan for Ukraine of 90 billion euros if the European Commission approves Budapest’s application for a defense loan of 16 billion euros under the SAFE instrument.<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We remind you that the National Bank of Ukraine<\/span><\/span> sees no reason for a sharp increase in the exchange rate or a significant fall in the hryvnia.<\/a> <\/p>\n
