The National Bank of Ukraine has amended its FX settlement rules to extend the settlement deadline for certain export transactions from 180 to 270 days, following proposals from the Ukrainian government and consultations with the Ministry of Economy, Environment and Agriculture. The longer deadline applies to exports of agricultural and specialised machinery carried out from 1 March 2026 and covers goods classified under UCGFEA codes 8424, 8428, 8432 and 8716. The NBU linked the change to supporting exports and machine-building sector activity while maintaining the inflow of foreign currency export earnings. The amendments were adopted through NBU Board Resolution No. 18 (amending Resolution No. 67 of 14 February 2019) and enter into force on 28 February 2026.
