To promote foreign investment in hryvnia government bonds

To promote foreign investment in hryvnia government bonds, the central bank now allows foreign companies and banks to take hryvnia loans from Ukrainian banks for bond investments. Loans are limited to 14 business days. “Allowing banks to finance such operations in the hryvnia gives investors the opportunity to better plan their participation in [bond] auctions,” says Oleh Churiy, deputy governor of the National Bank of Ukraine. “This will increase their interest in the Ukrainian market.”
