Reference: The 2008 financial crisis caused a sharp shortage of liquidity in the banking system of Ukraine, which led to the outflow of deposits, devaluation of the hryvnia and a general deterioration in the state of the foreign exchange market. In December 2008, the state introduced a set of anti-crisis measures, which included the creation of the Stabilization Fund, additional capitalization of state-owned banks, currency interventions and auctions of the NBU, as well as restrictions on early withdrawal of deposits. These steps were aimed at stabilizing the exchange rate, supporting the banking system and restoring depositors' confidence. As a result, a systemic collapse of the financial sector was prevented by early 2009.
