KYIV, Sept 30 – The vast majority – 10 out of 11 – members of the National Bank of Ukraine's (NBU) Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) supported keeping the key policy rate at 13% during a meeting on September 18, according to the committee's published discussion results. One member, however, advocated for an increase to 13.5%.

"These discussion participants agreed that a key policy rate of 13% will be sufficient for households to retain their ability to protect their hryvnia savings from losing value to inflation," the NBU said in the press release.
