The National Bank of Ukraine has transferred the first UAH 10 billion tranche of its 2016 profit to the state budget out of the total of over UAH 38 billion set for this year, NBU Governor Valeriya Gontareva has told Hromadske Radio.
"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.
