Currency supervision, which replaced currency control with the Law on Currency and Currency Transactions, became an important step in the relaxation of currency regulation in Ukraine.

However, despite these relaxations, participants in currency transactions are still obliged to comply with currency legislation.

Since the beginning of russia’s armed aggression against Ukraine, the limitations regarding the purchase and cross-border transfer of foreign currency have become an important topic for many relocated citizens and companies with cross-border business operations.
