According to the data published by the NBU during this period, from Monday to Wednesday, the negative balance between the volume of foreign currency purchases and sales by the population widened from $39.32 million to $43.35 million.
As reported, the NBU’s net interventions in May increased to $3.07 billion from $2.28 billion in April this year and $1.93 billion in May last year.
