The chairman of the Verkhovna Rada’s Finance Committee, Danylo Hetmantsev, expressed his indignation at the high salaries of state-owned bank executives during the war. He considers such amounts unacceptable and has appealed to the government with a proposal to limit payments. As reported by Delo.ua, Hetmantsev wrote about this on Facebook.
What are the salaries in state-owned banks
The MP published screenshots with data on monthly payments to top managers of state-owned banks, calling them unacceptable in conditions of full-scale war.
Thus, the chairman of the board of PrivatBank receives a salary of UAH 2.6 million, his deputy – over UAH 1.5 million.
The remuneration of members of the supervisory board of PrivatBank is indicated at the level of UAH 916 thousand.
The payments of the chairman of the board of Ukrgasbank amount to UAH 1.9 million. Approximately the same amount is received by members of the board.
The chairman of the supervisory board of Ukrgasbank receives UAH 670 thousand.
The salary of the chairman of the board of Oschadbank is 1.3 million UAH, his deputy earns 1.2 million UAH.
“I respect bankers very much. I understand the importance of banking. But guys and girls in state-owned banks – you suddenly didn’t fool yourself into paying for something like this in the war??? They introduced 2000-denomination bills for you, because 1000-denomination bills don’t fit in suitcases,” – Hetmantsev was indignant.
That is why he publicly appealed to the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine with a demand to intervene in the situation and review the payment policy in state-owned banks.
Hetmantsev also initiated a bill on a 50% tax on bank profits. Formally, this is a quick and understandable fiscal instrument: the sector is profitable, transparent, well-administered and has repeatedly proven that it is able to pay more. But in essence, this issue is much broader than another attempt to close the budget hole.
