The NBU announced the start of a procedure to liquidate one of the largest financial institutions in Ukraine, Nadra Bank. This bank was part of the sphere of influence of oligarch Dmitry Firtash and was one of the largest financial institutions in Ukraine in the last year and a half.
Nadra Bank ranked 11th in terms of assets (UAH 35.8 billion) among Ukrainian banks.
As the NBU stated, Firtash’s bank was unable to overcome the results of the 2008-2009 crisis, and the financial crisis of 2014-2015 turned out to be insurmountable for it. It is also noted that the shareholders and management of Nadra Bank were unable to organize the financial activities of the financial institution, so on February 6 the Federal Guarantee Fund introduced a temporary administration into it. As of May 1, 2015, Nadra Bank depositors were paid 2 billion hryvnia. Another 1.8 billion hryvnia is planned to be paid to clients in the near future.
It is known that the liquidation of Firtash’s Nadra Bank may result in the oligarch losing control over a number of his enterprises, since their assets are pledged against Nadra Bank’s loan obligations.
We also wrote earlier that Firtash tried to put pressure on the Ukrainian government through the federation of employers so that a temporary administration would not be introduced into Nadra Bank.
