Panelist insight: Andrew Matheny, Johan Allen and Alberto Dario Zanettin at Goldman Sachs commented: “We would characterise the [Bank’s] guidance as unambiguously hawkish, with the NBU explicitly referring to further tightening. […] Accordingly, we are revising our forecast as we expect the NBU to increase its key policy rate by another 50bp at the coming meeting, with the NBU remaining on hold until Q2 next year before starting to loosen monetary conditions again.”
How should you choose a forecaster if some are too optimistic while others are too pessimistic? FocusEconomics collects Ukrainian interest rate projections for the next ten years from a panel of 10 analysts at the leading national, regional and global forecast institutions. These projections are then validated by our in-house team of economists and data analysts and averaged to provide one Consensus Forecast you can rely on for each indicator. By averaging all forecasts, upside and downside forecasting errors tend to cancel each other out, leading to the most reliable interest rate forecast available for Ukrainian interest rate.
