Currency market reacted immediately to the political events in Ukraine. Several foreign exchange stations in Kiev have established the rate of US-dollar for today morning: 5 hryvnias 20 kopecks per 1 US-dollar. Regional foreign exchange stations offered even higher rate: 5 hryvnias 30 kopecks per 1 US-dollar.
Ukrainian citizens’ reaction is also quite predictable and traditional: to increase the demand for American currency. But the banks appeared to be absolutely unprepared to enlarge the currency selling, so sometimes customers are allowed to buy not more than 100 $ at once. Still the interbank currency market seems to be stable: its rate is 4 hryvnias 98 kopecks per 1 US-dollar. Nevertheless ICTV informs that the rush at foreign exchange stations will be stabilized in a few days.
