MOSCOW, January 3. /TASS/. The National Bank of Ukraine on Friday lowered the official hryvnia exchange rate to the US dollar to a new record low of 42.03 per $1, the regulator said on its website.
Meanwhile, Ukraine’s central bank spent $5.3 billion last month to prop up the national currency, the Ukrainian online publication Strana reported, citing the regulator’s report, in what it said was the biggest currency intervention.
