KIEV, June 25 (Reuters) – Ukraine’s central bank has cut
limits on local banks’ long foreign currency positions to 5
percent of regulatory capital from 20 percent, according to a

The move is aimed at “maintaining stability on the foreign
exchange market”, according to the central bank’s decree which
takes effect from June 29 and gives bank 30 days to adjust their
