The tumbling of the pound sterling after Britain voted to leave the European Union (Brexit) will not affect Ukraine's forex reserves, Governor of the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) Valeriya Gontareva said at a press conference in Kyiv last week.

"The pound never was the main currency of Ukraine's trade partners, and its share of the Ukrainian reserves is small," she said.

As reported, Britain voted to break down of the EU: the official referendum results show that 51.9% of voters supported leaving the EU.
