Privatization of state-owned banks may be the key to investment in Ukraine. But first, a general strategy for the development of state-owned banks must be developed. This was stated by the Chairman of the National Bank of Ukraine, Andriy Pyshny, RBC-Ukraine reports with reference to his Facebook post.<\/p>\n
Pyshny reported that yesterday he met with the World Bank’s Regional Director for Eastern Europe, Bob Som. According to him, they had a “deep and meaningful conversation” about the context in which Ukraine continues to live, as well as about the plans and steps necessary to ensure the country’s rapid economic recovery.<\/p>\n
“Another important issue of the conversation is the privatization of state-owned banks. I agree with Mr. Som that the start of privatization will give a positive signal to investors,” Pyshny said.<\/p>\n
At the same time, he believes that such a step should be part of the general strategy for the development of state-owned banks.<\/p>\n
“We need to develop such a strategy together with the government and stakeholders to ensure a conceptual vision for the development of the state banking sector of Ukraine,” the NBU chairman added.<\/p>\n
State-owned banks<\/p>\n
Let us recall that the state currently owns seven banks out of 60. These are PrivatBank, Oschadbank, Ukreximbank, Ukrgasbank, Sense Bank, Motor-Bank, and the First Investment Bank. According to the NBU, 65.7% of the profit for the first quarter of 2025 was generated by state-owned banks. In the first quarter, the share of net assets of state-owned banks remained at 53.3%. The share of state-owned banks in the population’s funds is 62.9%. First Deputy Chairman of the NBU Kateryna Rozhkova stated that the first candidates for sale are the state-owned Ukrgasbank and Sense Bank. But, according to her, the sale procedure is a long process.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
