Ukraine’s quest to establish e-hryvnia
Ukraine hopes to benefit the economy by introducing its digital currency. This could be the major reason why NBU is searching for blockchain developers.
Last week in September, Oleksandr Bornyakov, Ukraine’s Deputy Minister, conducted a round table conference confirming that the project e-hryvnia was finally underway.
The National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) has been eyeing the possibility of establishing a digital currency. Experts have investigated many international experiences of countries having their own CBDC. They started analysing every legal aspect and the macroeconomic effects on their economy in 2016, which allowed the project e-hryvnia to began about two years later, in 2018.
