KIEV, Aug. 20 – Ukraine, with the participation of Deutsche Bank at a primary auction on August 15, placed 2.5-year hryvnia-pegged government domestic loan bonds worth over UAH 2 billion among nonresidents, Prime Minister Arseniy Yatseniuk told reporters.
"We've placed securities worth $200 million via Deutsche Bank at 19% in hryvnias. This means that they [foreign investors] believe that stability will be seen in Ukraine and there will be no exchange rate fluctuations," the premier said at a meeting with farmers in Cherkasy region on Tuesday.
