It was presented by the Chairman of the National Bank, Andriy Pyshny, during the meeting of the "Business Without Barriers" community, which was attended by the First Lady of Ukraine, Olena Zelenska.
As part of the First Lady Olena Zelenska's initiative "Without Barriers," the National Strategy for an Accessible Space was adopted in April 2021, with a time frame extending to 2030. This strategy aims to eliminate six types of barriers: physical, social, digital, informational, educational, and economic. Andriy Pyshny emphasized that the National Bank has united the financial sector to create the most inclusive financial system in the world.
“We simply have no other choice but to develop a society without barriers. Modern Ukraine is a country of heroes and veterans. Together, we will surely overcome this path, the main thing is to take it step by step, without stopping, and to embody the principles of equality and accessibility in the financial system every day. To celebrate Ukraine's progress in developing an inclusive society, we created a special commemorative coin. It is dedicated to the entire community that brings the philosophy of accessibility to life, fostering a society without restrictions, where every individual, regardless of age, gender, health status, ethnicity, or social status, has equal opportunities for development and self-realization,” said Andriy Pyshny.
