Zablocki: Ukrainians buy about 12 billion dollar annually

Due to the permanent panic of the population about the exchange rate, there are many speculations in Ukraine, head of the Erste Bank Economic Research department Marian Zablocki said during a round table discussion "The ideal exchange rate: expert brainstorming," ForUm correspondent reports.

"Some of them are political speculations. For example, the opposition always likes to tell the worst truth. Recently the opposition said the government was preparing a hyperinflation. This related to the fact that Ukraine adopted new accounting standards as in the EU. And a normal political culture stipulates that such matters should not be used for speculations," he said.

In addition, Zablocki added that no country in the world has such a turnover of foreign exchange cash as in Ukraine. According to him, the Ukrainians buy about 12 billion dollar annually.
