By KYIV. Nov 7 (Interfax-Ukraine) – The National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) has allowed banks to provide tender guarantees for operations to supply goods to nonresidents, which will improve the business conditions for Ukrainian exporters and tender guarantees will be used to enter new markets and search for new export opportunities.
The relevant changes were adopted by NBU Board Resolution No. 227 dated November 4, 2022, which entered into force on November 5.
In addition, the National Bank added thermal imagers to the list of defense goods that are allowed to be purchased for foreign currency to maintain the defense capability of Ukraine.
The NBU also allowed banks, while satisfying applications for the purchase of foreign currency for import contracts by charities, not to take into account the balances in foreign currency on their accounts and not to require their sale or spending.
In addition, the regulator expanded the list of documents on the basis of which banks can open accounts for military personnel and identify them with officer, general and admiral IDs.
