you will be killed on the street there
Wait...are you working under the impression that Ukranian banks give you an 18% return if you keep your money in a savings account?
you can't move too much FIAT money
Okay, what about any other country? Like Venezuela, India whatever.
Yeah, that's how banks work, isn't it? You make a deposit, you come back a year later and they hand you your money and interest. I don't know why they do this but it works.
You're and idiot and deserve to lose your money.
Take $1 in USD, go to Sri Lanka and trade it for 175 rupees.
Get 20% interest, now you have 210 rupees. Try to convert that back to USD in one year and get back 98 cents because the ruppee inflated 22% against USD in that same time period.
If this is bait I will hunt you down and cut you
I hope this is bait
Okay I got the point. What if I won't convert to local currency and make deposit in USD?
>What is a Carry Trade?
you can only put in ukranian currency, which will decline in value as you park it in an ukranian bank
