KIEV, Feb. 14 – The restrictions on the purchase of foreign currency introduced by the National Bank of Ukraine to smooth sharp hryvnia exchange rate fluctuations will be short-term ones, said Olena Scherbakova, director of the bank’s chief monetary and credit policy department.
"The measures we've taken are short-term measures. They will be canceled after the stabilization of the situation in the country," she said at a roundtable in Kiev.
She said that the measures taken by the NBU had cut demand for foreign currency.
