Starting from October 3, banks that have been able to buy and sell foreign currency at the request of their clients only within the official exchange rate of the National Bank of Ukraine +/- 1% may set it independently without this restriction.
The relevant provision is enshrined in the NBU Board Resolution No. 121 of October 2 on the transition to a regime of managed exchange rate flexibility, which amended the “military” NBU Board Resolution No. 18 of February 24, 2022.
“You read our amendments to Resolution No. 18 correctly: that is, there is no peg plus +1% now,” NBU Deputy Governor Yuriy Heletiy confirmed at a briefing on Monday.
