KYIV, July 27 – From July 28, the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) decided to lower the key policy rate to 22% from the level of 25% at which it had kept it since June 6, 2022, in line with market expectations.

"Rapid disinflation and sustained FX market conditions enabled the central bank to start the cycle of key policy rate cuts. Taking into account an improvement in inflation expectations and projected further disinflation, the current and forecast rate cuts conform to maintaining the attractiveness of hryvnia savings," the central bank said on its website on Thursday.
