The NBU has introduced new currency liberalization measures

The National Bank of Ukraine has introduced new foreign exchange easing measures for citizens and investment projects.

This was announced by the NBU.

From now on, Ukrainians are allowed to purchase foreign currency and accumulate it in an account to pay for medical treatment abroad—until the full amount is collected.

This rule applies to both the patients themselves and their relatives or charitable foundations that are raising funds.

The National Bank notes that these changes will not have a significant impact on the foreign exchange market.

Additionally, the regulator has established procedures for settlements in hryvnia and foreign currency for the operations of the U.S.-Ukraine Reconstruction Investment Fund.

The lending trend in Ukraine remains strong, as in December 2025, the volume of hryvnia loans to businesses and households increased by one-third.

The share of non-performing loans (NPLs) in the Ukrainian banking sector fell to 25% as of October 1, 2025, marking the best result in the past decade.
