The international reserves of Ukraine increased by 5.5%, amounting to US$25.24 billion as of November 1, according to preliminary estimates.

That’s according to the National Bank press service, Ukrinform reports.

"As of November 1, 2022, Ukraine's international reserves amounted to %25,244.2 million, according to tentative data. They increased by 5.5% thanks to stable inflows from international partners and a decrease in the net sale of foreign currency by the National Bank," the report reads.

In general, the dynamics of foreign reserves during September were determined by several factors: firstly, public debt management operations; secondly, the National Bank's operations on the interbank foreign exchange market; and thirdly, the revaluation of financial instruments (as a result of changes in market value and exchange rates).
