Ihor Smilyanskyi, CEO of Ukrposhta, is setting ambitious goals for the next two years of his management of the national postal service

. He posts on Facebook that his 5-year development strategy is: to create a postal bank that will be one of Ukraine’s five largest banks; to grow Ukrposhta into a company with $1 billion in revenues by 2026; to digitize the entire system and build a network of sorting centers near big city ring roads; to launch 2,000 mobile branches, ensuring that banking services reach the entire nation; and to attract a strategic international investor to buy at least 25% of the company. Last week, Ukrposhta’s Supervisory Board unanimously voted to extend Smilyanskyi’s contract for another two years.
