"The entire amount will be transferred in several tranches as agreed with the Ministry of Finance so that it had no impact on price stability in the country," said Gontareva.

According to her, the transfer was earlier prevented by the fact that the NBU Council had not been formed. As UNIAN reported earlier, October 25, the Council’s composition was completed and its chairman, Bohdan Danylyshyn (former Minister of Economy - 2007-2010), was elected.

The Council members approved the annual consolidated financial statements of the central bank for 2015 and the distribution of the NBU profits.
