The changes regarding the restoration of foreign-exchange position calculations on economically sound principles were approved by NBU Board Resolution No.
239 dated August 10, 2026, "On Amendments to the Methodology for Banks' Calculation of Open Foreign-Exchange Position Limits."
Under the resolution, banks will be able, in 10% increments, to fully catch up by June 1, 2027, in accounting for the additional reserves for active operations accumulated during the war in their foreign-exchange positions.
"The easing will help increase the confidence of foreign investors and facilitate further inflows of funds into Ukraine," the regulator commented on its decision.
According to the NBU's estimates, the easing of foreign-exchange restrictions will not create risks to the stability of the foreign-exchange market, given that the necessary prerequisites have been established and each individual measure has been carefully analyzed.
