Experts: Reducing the discount rate of NBU will have no effect on activity in the stock market

Reduce the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU), the discount rate to 11% will not have a significant impact on the stock market, market participants think the respondents.

Reduction of the NBU discount rate does not provide adequate support stock market. This tool has a minimal impact on the financial market and, consequently, can not have a positive impact on the real economy - said analyst IG TASK (Kiev), Viacheslav Ivanishin .

At the same time, he noted the increasing impact of the recent discount rate for the financial market due to high volumes of the National Bank refinancing of commercial banks. Previously, the discount rate was more likely an indicator and not actually shaped trend in the financial market, because there was no active refinance the banking system, - said V. Ivanishin.

According to economist IC Troika Dialog Ukraine (Kiev) Irina Piontkovsky, given the expensive credit resources and vyaluyu the dynamics of the real sector is unlikely to expect that lowering the discount rate of NBU will change the situation on the stock market.

Both experts also believe the decision to reduce the bank rate is very reasonable on the background of lower inflation and stabilize the currency market. At the same time, their predictions about future cost trends.

Thus, according to I. Piontkovsky, further lowering the refinancing rate is unlikely in the background expected in the current year inflation within 16%.

Although, if continuing trend of slowing price growth rates may decline further, - she added.

In turn, B. Ivanishin believes that if the NBU monetary approaches followed by the Fed and the ECB to reduce interest rates at a deflationary process, the decline rate is likely to continue.
