KYIV, Aug 7 – The Council of the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) should think about lowering the medium-term inflation target of the central bank, which currently stands at 5%, Head of macroeconomic research department of Investment Group ICU Serhiy Nikolaychuk said.
"The NBU Council should already think about reducing the optimal inflation rate in Ukraine and the corresponding inflation target. After all, the lower inflation rate will contribute to achieving the president's goal – to lower interest rates on loans, including mortgage loans, below 10%," he wrote on his Facebook page on Friday.
