The President will not initiate the replacement of the NBU governor

President Volodymyr Zelenskyy will not initiate the replacement of the head of the National Bank of Ukraine, Andriy Pyschny.

“I have not initiated any steps to replace him. This is an independent institution. Pyschny is the head of the National Bank. He has difficult relations with the government, with members of parliament. Not just with this government, but in general – with government positions. Because the stance of the National Bank under him and the stance of the Ministry of Finance are very different on many issues,” the president said.

Zelenskyy added that in difficult moments between institutions he was asked to mediate the situation, and he has done so over the past years.

“But now, as various information campaigns have begun, aimed at influencing something, I will no longer participate in fostering dialogue between these institutions. Let them understand that they should think about stability in the state, not about information campaigns,” he noted.

For reference, the Ministry of Finance has a clear task to intensify the process of selling Sense Bank; the funds received will go to financing the needs of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
