President Viktor Yuschenko stands for the National Bank of Ukraine to perform regular interventions at the interbank currency market to stabilize the hryvnia exchange rate.
Deputy head of the Presidential Secretariat Andrii Honcharuk has announced this at a press briefing.
"The president wants more active interference of the NBU in the currency market," he said referring to the results of the president's counsel with the NBU management and bankers.
Honcharuk also stressed that in course of the meeting they discussed more than twenty propositions on financial-economic stabilization.
Among other measures, which in the president's opinion the National Bank must take, is to continue operations for supporting banks' liquidity.
Top managers of major commercial banks also see necessity in the NBU's active participation in trades at the interbank currency market.
Honcharuk called the situation in the banking system normal and marked that current problems were, first of all, caused by the situation around PromInvestBank and global financial crisis.
As Ukrainian News earlier reported, President Yuschenko met with National Bank Chairman Volodymyr Stelmakh and bankers on Friday to discuss the financial and economic situation in Ukraine.
