The representation emphasizes that the financial stability, transparency, and independence of the National Bank are important for Ukraine’s economic resilience.
The group of ambassadors from G7 countries took note of the National Bank of Ukraine’s position on the bill governing the circulation of virtual assets.
This was reported by the G7 Ambassadors’ Support Group representation in Ukraine on the social network X.
"The G7 group takes note of the NBU’s position on the bill governing the circulation of virtual assets. Ensuring the financial stability, transparency, and independence of the NBU remains critically important for Ukraine’s economic resilience and the effectiveness of international support," the statement said.
Context
The European Union’s representative in Ukraine, Katerina Maternova, said that the independence of the NBU is one of the key foundations not only of monetary policy but of the state’s overall sovereignty.
She said the law clearly defines the grounds for the early dismissal of the NBU governor, and the rule of law is one of the key requirements for Ukraine’s accession to the EU. Maternova emphasized that the regulator’s independence is decisive for financial stability.
Earlier, on 3 November, Member of Parliament Yaroslav Zheleznyak reported that the agenda sent to parliamentarians indicated consideration of the resignation of Andriy Pyshny. He noted that personnel matters are usually placed first on the agenda, while this item was at the end. In his view, that demonstrates uncertainty about the issue.
The next day Andriy Pyshny said he had not submitted a resignation letter and did not plan to do so "under pressure." Pyshny reminded that by law the governor of the National Bank of Ukraine serves a seven-year term, and there is an exhaustive list of grounds for his early dismissal. He believes that now, with his potential dismissal reappearing in the public sphere "against the backdrop of prolonged political pressure, manipulation, a deliberate and coordinated campaign of discrediting, what is being tested is not someone’s willingness to leave the post, but the real effectiveness of protective mechanisms and safeguards and the state’s ability to adhere to the rules established by law."
Pyshny also denies influence over the appointment of supervisory board adviser Vasyl Vesely. Ukrainska Pravda wrote that Vesely and one of the suspects, Oleksandr Tsukerman, discussed candidates for the supervisory board of Sense Bank. The appointment process for the supervisory board should have been independent.
