There is no need to introduce a tax on currency sales in Ukraine at the moment, Ukrainian Prime Minister Mykola Azarov has said.

“All of the actions that had been taken are absolutely sufficient and
effective. There is no need to take other extra measures,” he said in
an interview with the 1+1 Channel, while commenting on the NBU’s
initiative to introduce a tax on currency sales.

Azarov added that the Ukrainian government wanted to see the
stability of the national currency, and the NBU’s monetary policy should
allow the country’s economy to develop.
