Restructuring loans for businesses
Heletii announced new regulatory changes designed to make it easier for businesses to obtain financing. From now on, short-term loan restructuring will not be counted when determining the presence of a default.
In addition, the National Bank increased the collateral valuation coefficient for unconditional local guarantees from city and regional councils to 0,8. According to the deputy governor, this change was initiated by representatives of the banking sector and business.
Despite an overall increase in the loan portfolio by 30%, the NBU foresees restrained further lending growth due to the persistence of wartime risks.
“A bank has obligations, and the interests of depositors and creditors must be protected,” Heletii added.
As Novyny.LIVE reported citing the head of the parliamentary Committee on Finance, Tax and Customs Policy, Danylo Hetmantsev, due to limited financial resources the state currently cannot expand business support programs or fully complete certain social initiatives.
And the NBU reported that consumer prices in Ukraine rose by 0,1% in August compared with July. At the same time, the annual inflation rate increased to 8,1%. The largest monthly increases were seen in the cost of water supply, sewage, fuel, and transport services.
