Ukraine Looks at state bank sales

摘要

Ukraine's financial sector has endured a turbulent few years since current President Petro Poroshenko came to power in May 2014, including a full blown financial crisis sparked by a run on the hryvnia. In February 2015 he agreed a US$17.5bn programme with the International Monetary Fund on condition the sovereign restructured its US$18bn debt. As part of this, many of the country's banks and their bonds have been restructured, leading to many coming under state control.
