Ukraine central bank offers to buy dollars at rate of 21.7 hryvnia
KYIV Feb 25 (Reuters) – Ukraine’s central bank offered to
buy dollars on Wednesday at a rate of 21.7 hryvnia to the
dollar, hours after it banned nearly all commercial currency
trading until the end of the week.
The bank’s offer means sellers, potentially including
exporters who are required to sell 75 percent of their hard
currency income, would receive about a third less than at the
last market exchange rate recorded before the ban.
