Governor of the National Bank Valeria Gontareva considers that there will be no more major bank bankruptcies on the market, she said to LIGA.net.
«In terms of assets, our 40 banks made up 97% of the whole system. You have already seen who out of top 20 did not survive. The next twenty passed testing on January 1, 2017. The Platinum and Fortuna-Bank went bankrupt. There remained banks, which make up 3% of the assets of the system», NBU Governor said.
Gontareva considers that the probable market exit of some small banks will not affect the banking and currency market.
During the 2014-2017 banking system cleaning, the National Bank passed the decision on putting 90 banks out of market.
Among other, 33 banks were declared insolvent in 2014, other 33 – in 2015, 21 – in 2016 and three – in 2017.
