The National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) improved its forecast for forex reserves of the country by the end of 2020 from $24 billion to $29.3 billion, and to $31.6 billion by the end of 2021 thanks to the significant improvement of the estimate of the surplus of the consolidated balance of payment.

In 2021, the central bank expects a surplus of $1.6 billion for the consolidated balance of payments instead of the previous forecast of a deficit of $1.1 billion, and for 2022 predicts a surplus of $0.4 billion and an increase in reserves to $32.3 billion.
