NATIONAL BANK OF UKRAINE ISSUES CURRENCY TRANSFER LICENSE TO GLOBALMONEY

The National Bank of Ukraine has issued a currency transfer license to GlobalMoney LLC.
According to a posting on the website of the NBU, the decision was made on June 4.
GlobalMoney LLC has become the 19th participant in the foreign exchange market, having received the license to carry out foreign exchange operations in accordance with the law on currency and foreign exchange transactions.
The licenses issued on the basis of the law on currency and currency transactions for the implementation of currency transactions will be indefinite, whereas previously the general currency exchange licenses were issued for a period of up to three years.
The NBU provided an opportunity for simplified re-issuance of licenses to all participants in the currency exchange market. To do this, non-bank financial institutions must submit a small package of documents and return the original general license. The regulator makes a decision on reissuing the license within two months after receiving the package of documents.

UKRAINIAN ZAZ PLANS TO ASSEMBLE BELARUSIAN TRUCKS

Zaporizhia Automobile Plant (ZAZ), which is part of UkrAVTO Corporation, being under reorganization, could in 2019 launch assembling MAZ trucks within joint production with Minsk Automobile Plant (Belarus).
UkrAVTO Press Secretary Dmytro Skliarenko told Interfax-Ukraine the parties are currently negotiating. If agreed, the first stage of the project will include assembling imported vehicle sets.
“At the same time, the possibility of localizing this production should be noted – the Belarusian side does not object to the use of components of Ukrainian production in the assembly. For the Ukrainian partners of ZAZ this means receiving additional distribution channels for the products and, as a result, developing domestic production related to the automotive industry sectors,” Skliarenko said.
He explained that taking into account the current Ukrainian realities, when amidst a serious reduction of the market of new vehicles the state actually opened the doors to European “second hand” and the only auto company in Ukraine with a full production cycle was forced to stop production of passenger cars and mothball technological lines, ZAZ is seeking the ways to replace the lost volumes by mastering the producing other types of vehicles.
