These measures have already been included in the updated macroeconomic forecast, which assumes that international reserves will remain at the same level. This was reported on Thursday by the NBU, UNN reports.
Given the fairly comfortable level of international reserves, the controlled situation on the foreign exchange market, and expectations of further international assistance, the NBU is preparing a series of steps to liberalize the currency in the coming weeks

He says they have already been taken into account in the updated macroeconomic forecast, which assumes that international reserves will remain close to the current level this year and next.
