The Ministry of Finance of Ukraine denies the initial rumors about the possible resignation of Oleksandr Shlapak as head of PrivatBank. This, in particular, said the Finance Minister Oleksandr danylyuk.
“No one’s going anywhere,” said the Minister Alexander danyluk reporters at the conference Free Market Road Show in Kiev, on Thursday, may 18.
Deputy Finance Minister Oksana Markarova also refutes the accuracy of the relevant information.
“We (the Ministry of Finance and Privat – Ed.) not discussed this issue. As a member of the Supervisory Board of the Bank, I can also add: Supervisory Board we also haven’t discussed it,” – said the Deputy Minister.
Note that the press service of the Bank does not comment on rumors about the possible resignation Shlapak.
We will remind, earlier the President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko said that the former owners of nationalized PrivatBank will be responsible for bringing financial institutions to bankruptcy in accordance with the requirements of Ukrainian legislation.
As you know, PrivatBank was nationalised in December 2016. The whole procedure took 72 hours. The reason is that “Private” could not execute the recapitalization program.
The Finance Ministry and the NBU had already stated that the move to the state was the only viable option to save financial institutions.
At the same time,I am a former beneficiary of “Privat” Igor Kolomoisky insisted that PrivatBank was the victim of the “tyranny of the NBU”.
