Last week we were intrigued [5] when the Ukraine Central Bank announced its FX market intervention plans not via 'trader sources" or Bloomberg but through its Facebook account (which later failed as the Hryvnia pushed on to record lows). Today, we hear perhaps even more important news - that Ukraine President Poroshenko has dissolved parliament. This was not entirely surprising news given recent political breakdowns [6] but his chosen medium to disseminate this crucial (and potentiall detsabilizing) news... his Twitter account.
The crucial Twitter account to follow for all Ukrainians...
