KIEV, Sept. 22 – The National Bank of Ukraine has restricted the sale of foreign currency to UAH 3,000 per capita a day.

"Given the tightening of tension in the cash segment of the foreign exchange market, the resolution foresees the reduction of the maximum amount of foreign currency in cash that can be sold to one person during one operational (working) day to UAH 3,000," the bank said in a statement.

According to the NBU, this limitation does not apply to cash purchases by resident individuals to repay foreign currency obligations under loan agreements.
