The National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) has decreased the limit for obligatory sale of foreign currency coming to Ukraine to companies from 65% to 75% and doubled the limit for buying cash currency – to UAH 12,000.

The decision is outlined in NBU resolution No. 342 of June 7 on regulating the situation on the Ukrainian monetary and credit market that will take effect on June 9 and will be in force until September 14, 2016 (apart from the requirements on repatriation of dividends).

The regulator said that the mitigation of administrative currency restrictions imposed in 2014-2015 is gradual and linked to the further stabilization of the situation on the Ukrainian monetary and credit market.
