The restriction, which is introduced by the document, will work until December 31 of this year, the order says.
In order to make a deal, banks will have to contact the head of the country to obtain a special permit.
According to the media, the document is a continuation of the Presidential Decree “On the application of special economic measures in the financial and Fuel and energy spheres ”, which were adopted on August 5 against the background of the hostile attitude of a number of countries and organizations with a share of foreign capital.

In particular, it is indicated that banks cannot make transactions with shares, as well as shares or deposits that make up their authorized capitals.
