Paper requirements
The submitted paper should be original and unpublished earlier. The paper should focus on one aspect and analyze it thoroughly instead of exploring the whole banking sector or the monetary policy issues in general.
Particularly, papers that create new knowledge through data analysis are regarded to be more valuable compared to those that present abstract theoretical concepts. Papers that summarize the existing knowledge on a specific topic are also welcome as long as such summary leads to clear policy advice relevant to the banking sector and the monetary policy in Ukraine.
When writing a paper, please follow the requirements applicable to articles for the Visnyk of the NBU. Useful information for writing research is available at the link.
