Approximately 26 billion hryvnia of MR Bank and Prominvestbank can be directed to state revenue.
The National Bank turned to the Cabinet of Ministers with a proposal to withdraw the financial assets of MR Bank (Sberbank) and Prominvestbank, which were removed from the market at the beginning of the war, subsidiaries of Russia’s Sberbank and VEB. This was announced by the head of the NBU Kirill Shevchenko in an interview with Economic Truth, published on Friday, April 8.
“About UAH 26 billion can be directed to state revenue. It’s cash, government bonds, certificates of deposit,” he said.
The head of the central bank recalled that at the beginning of the war, these banks revoked their licenses. “And now we understand that the next step should be the forced withdrawal of these assets. It is clear that the Ukrainian depositors of these banks must first receive their deposits within the guaranteed amount. ,” he says.
Speaking about other banks with Russian owners – Forward Bank and Pin -Bank – Shevchenko noted that they have no significant impact on the market.
At the same time, he noted that the Ukrainian Alfa Bank is important for the banking system and is not subject to penalties, unlike a number of its shareholders.
“Our task is to act in such a way that millions of Ukrainian depositors do not suffer. The shareholders of the bank must find a way to get out of this situation. I do not deny that this could be a sale to another owner. But it is should be a sale that will not be seen as an attempt to avoid penalties ” – said the head of the NBU.
Recall that the NBU revoked the licenses of subsidiaries of Russian banks on the second day of the Russian invasion on February 25.
