KYIV, May 7 – The National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) has pointed out the gradual fall in rates of corporate loans and expects that they would reach the historic low in 12-18 months.

According to the presentation of the NBU on its website, banks have large potential for cutting loan rates thanks to cheapening of funding.

"Deposit rates in foreign currency have reached the historic low, and as for the hryvnia deposits they are close to the lowest one in the past six years," the NBU said.
