KYIV, June 17 – The National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) has left its key policy rate unchanged at 7.5%, the NBU has said on its website.

"The Board of the National Bank of Ukraine has decided to keep its key policy rate at 7.5% per annum," the central bank said in a Thursday press release.

"The NBU is ready to raise its key policy rate further if stronger underlying inflationary pressures and worsening expectations pose a threat to meeting the 5% inflation target in 2022," the regulator said.
