KIEV, Feb. 9 – The hryvnia exchange rate could appreciate after the announcement of final presidential election returns thanks to an inflow of foreign investment and return of Ukrainian capital to the country, according to Ukrainian bankers.

"If court disputes [don't last] a long period of time, one can expect the start of the return to the market of currency from the shadow economy and abroad. An additional source could be sale of currency by foreign investors to buy government domestic loan bonds.
