Hontareva told about the nationalization of Russian banks.
The National Bank will be able to do it subject to the decision on NSDC sanctions, Correspondent.net reports.
Ukraine cannot nationalize banks with Russian state capital, however the regulator can apply sanctions subject to the relevant decision of the National Security and Defense Council, as it was said by Governor of the National Bank Valeria Hontareva.
According to her, there are UAH 26 billion on accounts of commercial clients and UAH 22 billion of individuals at banks with Russian state capital.
“If anyone can give UAH 50 billion so that we could cover it for our Ukrainian clients… We cannot nationalize 15% of our banking system. But if there is the NSDC decision, we will fulfill it”, Hontareva added.
Previously Hontareva did not exclude the nationalization of PrivatBank. According to her, the starting point in this process should become March 2016.
