NBU calls on Ukrainians not to invest in Forex

Investing in Forex is risky, Director of the Currency Reserve Department at the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) Oleksandr Dubykhvist has said at a roundtable meeting, according to UKRINFORM.

"Forex is the international market. It's a game, casino, rather than investment. It's unnecessary to invest in a casino," he said.

Dubykhvist recalled that today it was possible to legally "invest only in banks - professional market players."

"Accounts in Forex do not open, because it is prohibited to open accounts abroad. Clients are not protected. I would warn people against such investments," he said.
