KIEV, Feb. 25 – Administrative restrictions on companies imposed by the National Bank of Ukraine could hinder the outflow of foreign currency from the country, although they would not directly influence the hryvnia exchange rate, according to experts polled by Interfax-Ukraine.

"This is the right gate. Maybe too late, but absolutely adequate measure as a part of the complex of measures to stabilize the currency market," First Deputy Board Chairman of Prominvestbank Viacheslav Yutkin said.
