A one-time inflow of funds from the sale of "Kryvorizhstal" will not cause shocks on either the currency or the hryvnia market of Ukraine. This opinion was expressed by Finance Minister Viktor Pynzenyk on the evening broadcast of the "1+1" television channel.
Pynzenyk recalled that in Ukraine, 2.5-3 billion dollars are sold on the currency market every month. This is revenue from exports, to which a one-time inflow of 5 billion dollars is now added.
According to Pynzenyk, there is no buyer for this amount. "That is, it is impossible to buy such a volume," he said.
Since, as Pynzenyk noted, it is not excluded that the entire sum will arrive at once, there is something for economists to think about here. A corresponding instruction has already been given by the President of Ukraine and the Prime Minister.
At the same time, Pynzenyk is confident that there will be no surprises here. "That is, no problems with this operation. We have found solution options, and therefore there will be no surprises either on the currency market or on the consumer market regarding the Ukrainian hryvnia," he said.
Also, according to Pynzenyk, such an inflow will in no way affect inflation.
