The net operating profit of Ukrainian banks increased by 30% in 5 months.

According to the results from the first five months of the current year, the net operating profit of Ukrainian banks increased by more than 30% year over year, said the Deputy Chairman of the NBU, Yaroslav Matuzka. However, he added, the deep crisis caused by the war will have far-reaching consequences. Currently, the biggest threat is to credit risk management. According to NBU estimates, at least 20% of the existing loan portfolio will be lost. Mazutka also noted that currently, more than 85% of large bank branches are operating in Ukraine, compared to the beginning of March, when this figure was 55%.
