Ukraine’s central bank issues its biggest currency liberalisation move since the full-scale invasion in 2022, according to reports. The change loosens existing restrictions tied to accessing foreign currency and transferring funds through the banking system.
The updated regulations increase the allowances that individuals and businesses can use for purchasing foreign currency and for withdrawing funds from Ukrainian bank accounts. Outlets describe the step as a substantial adjustment within the broader framework of wartime financial controls.
While both reports focus on the size and significance of the liberalisation, they differ mainly in emphasis. One report highlights the move as the largest since 2022, framing it as a major policy update, while the other stresses the practical effect of expanded allowances for foreign currency purchases and cash withdrawals. Both agree the measures relax controls rather than tighten them.
