June17200921:26

Ukrhazbank will become the first Ukrainian commercial bank that will be bailed out by the cabinet and become state-owned, Party of Regions lawmaker and the bank’s honorary president Vasyl Horbal told journalists in Verkhovna Rada. I can definitely confirm that Ukrhazbank will be the first bank to undergo recapitalization. We are different from other commercial banks in that we didn’t suspend payments of deposits and continue to function normally,” he added.

He also informed that the bank is working according to the bail-out schedule and has submitted information about its stock issue to the commission on securities, revised its statute, replaced bank seals, submitted documents to the Anti-Monopoly Committee and publicized the report on increasing the bank’s statutory capital.

The bank accelerated its preparations for the bail-out, and the Finance Ministry can be registered as owner of its stock already on July 1-3, Horbal said.

It is not known, Horbal continued, whom the government will appoint to head the bank. He did not rule out that the bank will be run by a board of independent directors.
