KYIV, Dec 7 – The National Bank of Ukraine (NBU), which recently reduced the period for returning foreign currency earnings of agricultural exporters from 180 to 90 days, will continue to counteract shadow exports and fight non-return of foreign currency earnings, including by building new relations with the State Tax Service and State Customs Service, said Governor of the NBU Andriy Pyshnyy.

“We will do everything to ensure that export earnings return to Ukraine. Today, its non-return reaches $8 billion, if not more. These $8 billion - where are they? What taxes did the Ukrainians receive from them?” he said at the annual forum of corporate directors of the Professional Association of Corporate Governance in Kyiv.
