The Board of the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) has decided to raise the key policy rate from 14.5% to 15.5% per annum and to adjust the operational framework parameters of its interest rate policy.
The key policy rate is applied to calculate interest and penalties on late tax payments.
The decision aims to support the attractiveness of hryvnia savings, maintain the sustainability of the FX market, and keep inflation expectations in check, which will allow bringing back the steady disinflation trajectory toward the 5% target.
The NBU stands ready to take additional monetary measures if risks to the price dynamics and inflation expectations continue to rise.
This announcement was made by the National Bank of Ukraine on 6 Mar 2025. The decision will take effect on 4 April 2025.
