According to the protesters, if the government and the NBU will not keep the national currency hryvnia, followed by a perpetual campaign at the walls of the National Bank and the Cabinet.

KIEV, September 29. The walls of the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) on the street Instytutska more than 100 picketers demanded the resignation of the head of the National Bank of Valerie Gontareva and stabilize the exchange rate. In the hands of the protesters posters “Gontareva – resign!”, “Speculators in power”, “The government and the National Bank – against the people.”

“We demand to change the leadership of the central bank, to stop speculation in the foreign exchange market and to hear those who have taken foreign currency loans,” – said one of the rally – the chairman of the All-Ukrainian independent trade union “Labour protection” Oleg Wernick. According to him, if the government and the NBU will not keep the national currency hryvnia, followed by a perpetual campaign at the walls of the National Bank and the Cabinet. “NBU and the government can not hear us. There exacerbated the economic crisis, continuing devaluation of the hryvnia currency market went into the shadows. Barely surviving public sector workers, pensioners and other categories of poor people,” – said Wernick. Reaction from the leadership of the NBU and the government yet.

According to the forecasts of the NBU, the end of 2014 the consumer price index in the country will grow by 19% in annual terms. Last week the dollar on the interbank currency market of Ukraine has reached a historic low of 15 hryvnia, the euro – 19.3 hryvnia. As reported at the end of last week, the Ministry of Finance of the country, public and publicly guaranteed debt of Ukraine in August 2014 increased for the month of $ 285.98 million (0.41%) and amounted to 69.512 billion dollars. At the same time, taking into account the national currency exchange rate differences debt for the month increased by 12.9% to 837.44 billion to 945.77 billion hryvnia. Trying to keep the hryvnia from a rapid fall, the NBU is trying more and more new administrative methods, experts say. So, last week banks are prohibited from selling the currency in the hands of one of more than 3,000 hryvnia per day ($ 220). For legal entities regulator reduced the mandatory sale of foreign currency earnings from 100% to 75%. However, many analysts believe that the National Bank has no plan of action to stabilize the situation. So, a week ago, head of “Fatherland” in the Verkhovna Rada Sergey Sobolev, commenting on the problems of the currency market, called the head of the NBU to resign. “I can say that there is not even a plan of action to help the National Bank intends to stabilize the currency market. If the head of the NBU Valerie Gontareva no plan of action, then it should step aside,” – said Sobolev
