KYIV, April 5 – Ukraine’s forex reserves in March, according to preliminary estimates of the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU), increased by 18%, or by $6.7 billion, to $43.763 billion.

"This dynamics is due to significant (more than $9 billion) volumes of receipts from international partners, which exceeded the net sale of foreign currency by the National Bank and the country’s debt payments in foreign currency," explained the NBU website.
