...So, before everything was fine, and everyone trusted the national currency, but now they don't? Because of Maidan? Well, if that's the case, then yes, further discussion is pointless. I agree, I'm wasting my time...
Before, when was that? A hundred years ago? Yes, there was trust. In Europe, they accepted imperial rubles for payment. They no longer accepted Soviet tens, but they could be exchanged. Which was also not bad. But Ukrainian hryvnias cannot be exchanged even in Russia. I hope the trend is clear.
Regarding 2013, it is enough to compare the funds placed by the population in deposits, for example, in September and in January 2014. And if the difference is not visible, then we are really wasting our time.
And what about the liquor and vodka industry? I was told that the products of this industry are in good demand abroad. :)
Well, yes, they are. In Russia. Ukrainian swill is cheaper than local swill.
