Due to this decision, from July 9, businesses will be able to buy currency and transfer money on transactions for imports of goods, as well as import any commodity products. However, restrictions on the purchase of foreign currency and cross-border transfers for import of services remain.
"As of early July, the list of critical imported goods contained about 90% of goods imported before the war. Taking this into account, according to estimates of the National Bank, the relevant relaxation will not lead to significant additional pressure on the foreign exchange market. This will improve conditions for doing business in Ukraine, as businesses will be able to buy all the necessary products for the production process," the statement said.
In particular, in order to support Ukrainian enterprises, the NBU decided to extend the terms of settlement of export-import operations from 120 to 180 days from July 9. The new requirements will apply only to transactions carried out since April 5 this year.
Also, in order to reduce pressure in the foreign exchange market from July 11 the period for use of the currency purchased for payment by residents will be reduced from 10 to 2 working days. However, the restriction does not apply to cases where currency is bought by residents for legal mobilization activities.
Foreign currency may be purchased without restrictions also by intelligence bodies, the State Treasury Service of Ukraine and diplomatic missions and consulates of other states in Ukraine. The NBU may provide a separate decision on the basis of requests from the Cabinet, ministries, the National Security and Defense Council (NSDC) and the Security Service of Ukraine (SBU).
