KYIV, Feb 3 – The National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) has included the factor of a swift end to active hostilities in its updated Inflation Report as a potential positive influence on its macroeconomic forecast. However, the bank assessed its likelihood as below 15%.

"Military risks for Ukraine persist amid ongoing global geopolitical tensions. Nevertheless, there remains a possibility that international efforts to achieve a fair and lasting peace for Ukraine will materialize in the near future," the NBU report stated.
