"I have no information that would confirm or deny actions by the National Bank in support of the state budget's deficit," Shlapak said. According to Shlapak, the increase in the volume of government bonds bought by the National Bank of Ukraine is not connected with deliberate financing of the state budget's deficit. "As far as I know, [the NBU bought the OVDPs] not for the purpose of financing the state budget's deficit," Shlapak said. Shlapak did not provide more detailed comments on this issue. As Ukrainian News earlier reported, the National Bank of Ukraine has sharply increased the volume of its OVDP purchases since the beginning of this year: it has thus far bought OVDPs worth more than UAH 3 billion. |
