Ukraine’s central bank (NBU) on May 3 introduced a package of measures easing currency restrictions for enterprises, the largest such move since the beginning of Russia’s full-scale invasion in February 2022. The NBU said the purpose of the changes is "to improve the conditions for doing business in Ukraine and the entry of domestic business into new markets, as well as to support economic recovery and promote the inflow of new investments into the country." Among the moves, the NBU set the abolition of all currency restrictions on the import of works and services and the easing of restrictions on the transfer of foreign currency from representative offices in favor of their parent companies.
