Cashless Society and De-dollarization in Ukraine. What is Missing from Present Discussions?
Journal Title: Visnyk of the National Bank of Ukraine - Year 2016, Vol 0, Issue 238
Abstract
The National Bank of Ukraine stepped on the track to a cashless economy aiming at reforming the financial system, improvement of the transmission mechanism, and reduction of the underground economy and corruption. A substantial part of money in the Ukrainian economy is estimated to be foreign cash in circulation. This article underlines the importance of considering it while conducting monetary policy. Negative consequences of high dollarization and proliferation of cash are emphasized. We discuss measures that are helpful in decreasing usage of cash in general and foreign cash in particular.
