National Bank of Ukraine Chairman Andriy Pyshnyy stated: “The Board has decided to initiate a cycle of easing interest rate policy, considering the steady decline in inflationary pressures and the reduction of risks related to external financing”. He also noted that in December 2025 the inflation rate dropped to 8% year-over-year. This improvement was attributed to higher yields, a softening of pressure in the labor market, and a stable foreign exchange market.The regulator kept the discount rate at 10% after the onset of the full-scale war, then increased it to 25% in June 2022. This rate was maintained until July 2023, when the NBU began to lower it. In January of 2025, the rate was increased to 14.5%, and then to 15.5% in March, where it had remained until now.Adjusting the discount rate serves as an important signal for banks in establishing interest rates on deposits and loans.https://ubn.news/the-nbu-has-reduced-the-discount-rate-in-ukraine-to-15-due-to-moderate-inflation-which-is-expected-to-decline-to-7-5-by-the-end-of-the-year/ (ICE KIEV)
