Firstly, the influence was the sale of currency by the National Bank on the foreign exchange market. During July, the NBU sold $3,306.8 million and repurchased $1.8 million into the reserves. Thus, the net sale of currency amounted to $3,305.0 million.
Secondly, the government received $2,482.7 million as proceeds to its foreign currency accounts at the National Bank. Also, payments were made for servicing and repaying the national debt in the amount of $185.0 million.
Thirdly, the reassessment of financial instruments also had its impact. Due to this factor, the value of financial instruments increased by $342.9 million. Overall, the current volume of international reserves ensures 4.8 months of future imports financing.
