This was reported to journalists by the acting head of the NBU, Arseniy Yatsenyuk.
He added that all time deposits and interest on them will be paid in the usual manner.
The National Bank associates this decision with the trend of active withdrawal of deposits by individuals that has emerged in recent days against the backdrop of political events.
As reported, on November 15-19, funds placed by individuals in accounts in banks in hryvnias and foreign currency decreased compared to November 8-12 by 0.2 billion hryvnias, or by 0.4% from 45.4 billion hryvnias to 45.2 billion hryvnias.
Deposits of legal entities decreased by 1.7 billion hryvnias, or by 4.1% from 41.6 billion hryvnias to 39.9 billion hryvnias.
In addition, the National Bank introduced financial monitoring of cash currency exchange operations in the amount of over 1 thousand dollars.
According to Yatsenyuk, financial monitoring will also apply to non-cash currency exchange operations in the amount of over 50 thousand dollars.
The NBU motivates this decision by the desire to improve the regulation of the currency exchange market in the situation of political instability that has developed.
