On the agenda of the Rada’s extraordinary meeting on May 13, the second question indicates bill no. 2571-d “On the improvement of certain mechanisms to regulate banking activities” (known as the “anti-Colombian” law).
Before the vote, the President of Ukraine Vladimir Zelensky asked for their support. According to the head of state, it is about protecting the Ukrainian economy.
In the first reading, the bill was adopted on March 30. Among other things, the document will make it impossible for PrivatBank, nationalized in 2016, to return to businessman Igor Kolomoisky, who is trying to challenge nationalization in court.
The businessman described this bill as “not” anti-Colombian, “but anti-Ukrainian.”
The adoption of this bill, together with the opening of the land market, are the main requirements of the International Monetary Fund to continue cooperation with Ukraine. Today, the Ukrainian Finance Minister Sergey Marchenko said that without the adoption of the document, further cooperation with the IMF would be impossible.
