The National Bank keeps the dollar exchange rate at one level due to interventions. This week, it was the second time in a month that it entered the foreign exchange market.

The Bank sold $ 6.4 million with calculations on the date of the transaction and $ 350,000 - with calculations other than the date of the transaction. Note, since the beginning of the month, the NB of the KR has already sold $ 12.7 million on the market. Since early November, the amount of intervention on selling the dollar is estimated at $ 55.4 million.

Note, for more than a week the dollar rate in commercial banks is almost the same. The currency is bought for 69.6-69.7 soms, but sold only for 69.8 soms. The nominal rate is set at 69,7431 soms (a drop of 0.01 percent a day).
