The bill (Reg. No. 11121) determines that the information about prices to goods, and tariffs for services indicated in advertisements distributed or placed on the territory of Ukraine should be indicated in Hryvnia only.
The bill has been elaborated to create legal grounds for limitation of foreign currency use on the territory of Ukraine to strengthen the stability of the national currency.
Members of the Committee believe that adoption of the bill would facilitate stability of the national currency and create conditions for efficient monetary policy of the state.
