Макроэкономика 24.06.2015 The NBU showed its ongoing tight control of FX policy as the hryvnia rose 0.69% to the dollar while most of the other emerging and developed market currencies declined on the news from the US and EU. The euro declined 1.53% on the Greek debt news, as the Polish zloty slid 1.42%, the Turkish lira fell 0.52%, while the Russian ruble added 0.16%.
