Valutakaos i Ukraina
Den ukrainska hryvnian fortsätter att fall mot dollarn. Chefen för Ukrainas centralbank, Valeriya Gontareva, gjorde ett intressant uttalande för en liten stund sedan:
Gontareva said that the National Bank would soon stabilize the hryvnia and plans to do this using market methods. At the same time, if they are not enough, the central bank will resort to administrative measures, the work on which is being done in consultation with the International Monetary Fund.

Alla som minns händelseförloppet när Argentina imploderade 2001 har anledning att frukta de små orden
administrative measures. Men det var kanske inte så många ukrainare som var med då.
Hon konstaterar vidare att valutakaoset beror på kriget och den tilltagande paniken bland befolkningen, men bortsett från detta finns det inget att oro sig för:
The fall of the hryvnia exchange rate in recent weeks was caused by military operations in the east of the country, panic moods of enterprises and the population, whereas there are no fundamental reasons for the hryvnia devaluation, Head of the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) Valeriya Gontareva has said.
