KYIV, March 6 – Ukraine’s international reserves in February, according to preliminary estimates from the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU), decreased by 3.8%, or $1.47 billion, to $37.052 billion.

“This dynamics is due to the NBU’s foreign exchange interventions to maintain exchange rate stability and the country’s debt payments in foreign currency, which were partially offset by receipts from international partners,” the NBU explained on its website on Wednesday.
