It is noted that the currency regulation mechanism consists instruments direct and indirect influence on the dynamics of the exchange rate. Instruments direct influence include currency restrictions. It was determined that in developed countries at present, currency restrictions are practically not applied, in contrast to countries whose economy and financial sector are reforming and developing. It is well-founded that currency restrictions are a complex legislative or administrative prohibitions, limiting or regulating operations of residents and non-residents with foreign currency and other currency values. Therefore, currency restrictions are discriminatory. A list types of currency restrictions and spheres their influence, which were used in international practice, is offered. The time periods currency restrictions in Ukraine have been studied and analyzed. On the basis statistical information, the effectiveness and efficiency of currency restrictions in ensuring stable dynamics of the hryvnia exchange rate have been proven. It was established that the introduction and application of currency restrictions during the full-scale invasion of Ukraine differed significantly from previous periods. The difference was in the change of the monetary regime, in particular, the transition from the regime of inflation targeting and floating exchange rate to the regime of strict limitation the dynamics of the exchange rate. Currency restrictions have been proven to be effective in the short term. In this regard, the National Bank of Ukraine initiated a policy of moderate easing of currency restrictions and transition to greater exchange rate flexibility with the prospect of introducing inflation targeting.
