The Rada will debate this morning President Zelenskiy’s nomination of Kyrylo Shevchenko, to be the next governor of National Bank of Ukraine. A lifelong banker in Kyiv, Shevchenko, aged 47, has run state-owned Ukrgasbank since 2014. At the bank, Shevchenko specialized in ‘green’ loans to solar and wind projects. Six months ago, the bank took a €30 million loan from the World Bank’s International Finance Corporation, a step seen as preparing the bank for privatization during the Zelenskiy presidency.
