📉 Fuel Shock and the Currency Market: Why August 2026 Will Be a Test for the Hryvnia 🇺🇦 💡 The main risks for the dollar and euro exchange rates are linked to instability in the fuel market. Importers are actively buying currency to avoid risks, which increases demand in the interbank market. 🛡️ The NBU maintains control over the situation thanks to interventions totaling $800–900 million. The "managed flexibility" regime allows for smoothing out exchange rate fluctuations. 🔥 Rising fuel prices could accelerate inflation, but seasonal price suppression on food products partially offsets this risk. 📊 Experts do not expect sharp exchange rate changes, although information waves may cause temporary panic. #currencyMarket #hryvnia #oil #inflation #NBU

🏠 In 2026, the real estate tax in Ukraine brings only 2.2% of all revenue to local budgets. 6.1 billion UAH was collected in 6 months. ⚖️ Why the system doesn't work? The current model takes into account only the area, not the cost. An apartment owner in the center and in a village pays the same for "extra" meters. This is recognized as unfair even in the Verkhovna Rada. 📉 Reform is overdue The transition to assessment by market value was planned for 2024–2025, but the key Cabinet of Ministers resolution has not been adopted. The State Property Fund admits the delay. 🔮 What will happen next? The new model is supposed to appear by 2027–2028, but deadlines are under threat. Owners of elite housing should prepare for a tax increase if the reform does take place.

🔥 Destruction of warehouses in Ukraine: why this is not the 2022 crisis and what it threatens the economy with? Experts warn: the comparison with the fuel crisis is erroneous. The aggressor is physically destroying infrastructure, not just blocking supply channels. 📉 What is happening: • Kharkiv and Sumy risk becoming "energy islands" due to the destruction of gas stations. • Goods worth tens of millions of dollars have been burnt (Rozetka, Amtel warehouses). • Who pays? No one. There is no insurance for war risks, state compensation is symbolic. 💸 Result: Prices will rise by 10–15%. Businesses are forced to pass losses on to buyers. #Ukraine #Economy #Logistics #War #PriceHikes
