KIEV, March 12 – The restrictions in the currency sphere introduced by the National Bank of Ukraine by resolution No. 762 could lower the investment attractiveness of the country's economy, according to experts from the Credit-Rating agency.

"Changes in the procedure for foreign investing... would weaken the dependence of the country's economy on speculative foreign capital, but the restrictions stipulated in the document related to purchase of currency to return investment abroad in the short-term could reduce the investment attractiveness of the banking and real economic sectors," reads the agency's report.
