The decision to seize the assets of two Russian banks in Ukraine must be approved by the National Security and Defense Council and signed by the president.
The Cabinet of Ministers approved the proposal of the National Bank on the nationalization of UAH 26 billion of assets removed from the market of Russian banks. The decision must be approved by the National Security and Defense Council and the president. This was announced by the director of the Deposit Guarantee Fund Svetlana Rekrut in an interview with Economic Truth.
Thus, the state will seize the assets of such banks as MR Bank (a subsidiary of Sberbank) and Prominvestbank. In particular, the funds in the NBU savings accounts, correspondent accounts of banks, loans from state-owned companies and the liabilities of the parent structures of these banks.
In addition, the assets of government bonds will be confiscated, which means that the state, represented by the Ministry of Finance, will no longer have any debt to Russian banks. Certificates of deposit will also be removed, that is, the NBU will not return funds to them.
The corporate rights of these banks will also be removed to allow them to qualify for surplus assets that will remain after nationalization.
In particular, MR Bank has UAH 3 billion in its savings account, which is enough to meet the needs of depositors up to UAH 200 thousand, and the next line of lenders and individuals whose deposits exceed this amount.
“The portfolio remained within 20 billion, there are also other assets, including real estate. This is more than enough to cover all queues of creditors, with the exception of related persons. And we hope that we will have a surplus, which we will. Return also in the state, ”Recruit said.
The state will also eliminate bank loans issued to state-owned companies of Ukraine. These are four state-owned businesses of strategic importance. The amount of this loan to the two interest-free banks is approximately 10 billion hryvnia.
Recall that the NBU revoked the licenses of subsidiaries of Russian banks on the second day of the Russian invasion on February 25.
