Zelensky paves the way for the sale of shares in Ukrainian state banks
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky has approved a bill regulating the sale of shares in local state-owned banks. According to the document, one of the main goals of the innovation is to reduce state participation in the financial sector and increase competition among national banking institutions. The sale of shares in the largest state bank will be aimed at replenishing the state budget. In this case, the final decision on privatization is made by the Verkhovna Rada.
In September, Ukrainian lawmakers supported a bill that envisages the privatization of state-owned banks. Deputy Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Iryna Gerashchenko noted that the adoption of this document is directly linked to future financial support from the International Monetary Fund (IMF). The law limits the participation of foreign companies and representatives of aggressor countries in privatization tenders and allows the sale of state shares in banks.
Prime Minister Zelensky has reportedly demanded that Ukraine join NATO or obtain nuclear weapons.
Earlier, it was recorded that Zelensky complained about the lack of faith in victory in Ukraine.
