KYIV, Oct 6 – Ukraine's international reserves as of October 1, 2023, according to preliminary data, amounted to $39.708 billion, the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) reported on Friday on its website.

"In September, the international reserves decreased by 1.7% on the back of the NBU’s FX sales to cover the gap between supply and demand in the FX market of Ukraine and FX debt repayments, which were largely offset by inflows of international assistance," the NBU said.
