The National Bank Eases Currency Restrictions: What is the New 'Loan' Limit for Businesses

Національний банк зменшує обмеження на валютні операції: які нові правила щодо кредитування для бізнесу?

Easing Currency Restrictions in Ukraine

The National Bank of Ukraine has eased currency restrictions starting from January 14, introducing a new 'loan' limit for Ukrainian enterprises. This step is aimed at improving the conditions for businesses and stimulating economic activity in the country.

The size of the 'loan' limit is equal to the amount of funds received from a loan or credit from abroad after January 1, 2026. This innovation aims to provide enterprises with greater financial flexibility in using foreign currency, which in turn can positively impact their operations and development.

Growth of International Reserves

Moreover, it is worth noting that in 2025, Ukraine's international reserves increased by more than 30% to $57.3 billion. In December, international reserves also demonstrated positive dynamics, growing by 4.6%. These indicators reflect the stability of the country's financial system and create favorable conditions for further easing of currency restrictions.

The easing of currency restrictions and the new 'loan' limit are important steps to support Ukrainian businesses in the face of modern economic challenges. The increase in international reserves also indicates an improvement in the financial situation in the country, which may facilitate enterprises' access to foreign currency and promote their development.

All these factors can positively influence economic stability and growth in Ukraine in the near future.
