KYIV, Sept 7 – The National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) will keep the refinancing rate at the level of 25% at a meeting on September 8, predict the majority of bankers polled by Interfax-Ukraine.

"Since the last meeting of the NBU on monetary policy in July, when the rate remained at the level of 25%, the circumstances of the money market have not changed significantly. Rather, one can even say that the prevailing conditions strengthen the arguments in favor of a stable rate. Accordingly, it is more likely maintaining a stable rate of 25% per annum in September," head of Alfa-Bank's analytical department Oleksiy Blinov said.
