NBU bans banks from closing currency accounts of clients until they fulfill liabilities under foreign economic contracts

The amendments to the rules on the procedure for opening and closure of accounts in the national and foreign currency are stipulated in NBU resolution No. 450 of July 28 posted on the central bank's Web site.
