Deputy Minister of Finance, the former deputy head of the National bank Alexander Savchenko considers unreasonable interference with the strengthening of the hryvnia exchange rate of the NBU.

He stated this in an interview with “Evening News”.

“UAH is now stronger, and its rate would long ago have reached 7,5 UAH /USD, if not the National Bank. He buys dollars, creating a lack of them in the market to keep the rate at grades 8 UAH /USD … But I would recommend National Bank to reduce support for the dollar. Let the rate will reach its market level, “- said Savchenko.

In his view, non-market rate, currently emerging, leading to wrong investment decisions of both the state and business.

“In other words, not knowing the true state of affairs, nowhere can invest with confidence,” - noted the Deputy Minister of Finance.

Savchenko stressed that the government considers a realistic forecast of average annual hryvnia exchange rate 7,5 UAH /USD for 2010, which was taken as the basis for drafting the state budget-2010.

“I think it is very realistic forecast,” - he said.

Savchenko refrained from making any recommendations regarding storage of savings in any currency.

“I”m not going to give add26vice to the upcoming presidential election and appointment of the new leadership of the National Bank”, - he said.

According to the Deputy Minister of Finance, the hryvnia will largely depend on what policy will meet the Ministry of Finance and National Bank of Ukraine after the elections.
