KYIV, Oct 20 – On October 26, the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) will reduce the refinancing rate by 2 percentage points (p.p.) - from 20% to 18% per annum, bankers expressed this opinion at a press conference of the Association of Ukrainian Banks.

“We expect that the rate will decrease... We think that it can still decrease by about 2%,” said Semen Babayev, deputy chairman of the board of Pravex Bank.

According to him, this will also depend on the situation at the front and on the support of foreign partners.
