KIEV, June 9 – The National Bank of Ukraine has permitted banks to change currency exchange rates during the working day, the regulator said on its website.

The decision is outlined in NBU resolution No. 341 of June 7.

"Banks and financial institutions that are involved in currency exchange transactions now can change currency exchange rates during the working day. This would allow cutting risks for them and decrease the spread between the purchase and sale foreign currency exchange rates," the NBU said.
