KIEV, Aug. 28 – The National Bank of Ukraine is analyzing the practicality of introducing a regulation which foresees the payment of interest on currency deposits and currency deposits in hryvnia, First Deputy NBU Governor Anatoliy Shapovalov said.

"A deposit is a financial service, and all services in Ukraine are provided in the hryvnia," he said live on Channel 5.

At the same time, Shapovalov denied reports that the NBU is mulling the possibility of banning early deposit withdrawal. "There are no such projects as this contradicts the Civil Code," he said.
