NBU raised its discount rate to 18%<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since September 07, the NBU has set a discount rate at 18% per annum in order to return inflation to the target range in 2019 and achieve the medium-term objective of 5% in 2020.<\/p>\n

The increase of the discount rate was approved by the decision of the NBU Board No. 593-p\u0448 \u201cOn the Discount Rate\u201d dated September 06, 2018.<\/p>\n

In case of implementation of inflationary risks, the National Bank may resort to raising the discount rate to the level necessary to ensure that inflation is reduced to the set objectives.<\/p>\n
