Kateryna Rozhkova, the veteran Central Bank number two, snapped back yesterday at a move to push her and another deputy to resign denouncing it as “a triumph of the past over the future” and “an alarming signal for National Bank independence and common sense.” Rozhakova and fellow deputy governor Dmytro Sologub are the last survivors of the Central Bank leadership that shut down 100 insolvent banks in the wake of the 2014-2015 crisis. In a Facebook posting, Rozhkova said the bank council voted the reprimand because of an interview the pair gave the Kyiv Post last month. In a separate interview, Sologub told Interfax-Ukraine that last summer’s purge of the central bank Board reduced the IMF’s trust in the bank to “ground zero.”
