As of May 1, 2014, preliminary data show that the stock of gold and foreign exchange reserves stood at USD 14, 226 million in equivalent.

In April, due installments under the state and state guaranteed debt (equivalent of USD 959 million) including under IMF stand-by facility (equivalent of USD 654 million) affected the gold and foreign exchange reserves dynamics.

In April, the National Bank of Ukraine carried out no foreign exchange interventions in the foreign exchange market of Ukraine.

For reference

In early May, Ukraine received the first tranche of SDR 2.058 billion of IMF loans (about USD 3.19 billion) under a two-year Stand-By Arrangement (SBA), which caused the gold and foreign exchange reserves to increase.
