Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko intends in the near future to submit to the Verkhovna Rada a draft law on currency developed by the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU).

He announced the corresponding plans during a meeting of businesses with the government in Kyiv on Friday.

At the same time, the head of state thanked Acting Head of the NBU Yakiv Smolii for the development of the document by the central bank, indicating that the current currency decree was adopted dozens of years ago.

As reported, the NBU on August 10, 2017 posted the draft law on currency on the website for public discussion. The document is intended to become a single legislative act that determines the order of currency regulation and currency supervision in the country.
