Changes in the NBU management: there will be a new deputy head

In an interview with RBC-Ukraine, the head of the NBU, Andriy Pishny, shared this information.

"There is a short answer - yes, changes in the management are planned," - Pishny said, confirming that this could happen in the near future.

"Currently, First Deputy Kateryna Rozhkova is performing her duties and remains in office until another person is appointed. That is how the law is written," - explained the head of the NBU.

Additionally, he expects the replenishment of the National Bank's Council. This process was supposed to be completed back in April, says Pishny. Currently, the relevant financial committee of the Council must fill its quota.

"Right now, a competition is underway at the level of the Verkhovna Rada committee for them to fill their quota. I believe this issue will be resolved in the near future. Everyone understands that the NBU Council must be fully staffed," - said the head of the NBU.

He noted that the NBU Council currently has a quorum to make decisions, and the existing regulations allow for proper working processes.

The National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) is the central bank of the country, responsible for the stability of the hryvnia and managing the financial system. It determines how banks should operate, issues licenses, controls the money supply and loans. The NBU also monitors payment systems, maintains the country's gold and foreign exchange reserves, and sets the official hryvnia exchange rate daily.

The Management Board of the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) is headed by the governor, who is currently Andriy Pishny.

According to the NBU website, the Management Board also includes seven deputy governors: Kateryna Rozhkova (First Deputy), Yuriy Gelyetiy, Yaroslav Matuzka, Serhiy Nikolaychuk, Dmytro Oliynyk, and Oleksiy Shaban.
