ВПЛИВ ВАЛЮТНОГО КАНАЛУ ТРАНСМІСІЙНОГО МЕХАНІЗМУ ТА ВАЛЮТНОЇ ПОЛІТИКИ НА ЕКОНОМІЧНИЙ РОЗВИТОК

Abstract

The article examines the peculiarities of the functioning of the currency channel of the monetary transmission mechanism of the central bank and its impact on the economic development of Ukraine in 2005-2020. The study was conducted on the basis of the use of linear regression models and the calculation of relevant indicators that characterize the reliability of the proposed models. The main economic parameters on which the dynamics of the hryvnia exchange rate has the greatest influence are determined and the methods of assessing the efficiency of the monetary channel currency transmission channel are improved. Based on the analysis and quantitative assessment of the impact of the weighted average exchange rate of hryvnia to the US dollar on the dynamics of the monetary base, monetary aggregates, lending rates, the base interest rate of the National Bank of Ukraine and the yield on short-term domestic government bonds, the main economic tendencies and links in the mechanism of functioning of the currency channel of monetary transmission were defined. In order to assess the impact of the currency channel on the main macroeconomic indicators, the impact of the dynamics of the hryvnia exchange rate on the growth rate of real GDP, inflation, the level of monetization of the economy and financial dollarization was determined. It is substantiated that the appreciation of the hryvnia exchange rate against leading currencies significantly restrains the growth rate of real GDP and contributes to rising inflation, which requires additional measures by the NBU to improve currency regulation and control. Based on the generalization of the NBU practice, the main directions are identified and a it was developed the system of measures to improve the efficiency of the monetary channel of the monetary transmission mechanism based on increasing the banking system's resilience to internal and external shocks, maintaining relative exchange rate stability and low volatility, ensuring effective foreign exchange market management, maintaining the balance of payments, as well as improving the efficiency of currency regulation and the implementation by the central bank of a prudent monetary policy that ensures the effective transmission of monetary impulses from the central bank to the real sector of the economy.
