Kateryna Rozhkova, the First Deputy Head of the National Bank of Ukraine, emphasized that this transition is a necessary step towards deeper economic alignment with the EU.
Rozhkova assured that the transition will be implemented gradually to prevent any abrupt changes that could negatively impact the economy.
She noted that while Ukraine is currently facing significant challenges, particularly due to the war, the authorities are keen to avoid economic shocks during this process.
The NBU views this change as a positive long-term development for the country's financial system and overall economic stability.
