Strategic Priorities for the Financial Sector
- Development of the Capital Market. The Commission aims to create a modern investment attraction system that will provide businesses with access to long-term financing. Planned steps include improving financial instruments, developing corporate bonds, strengthening market infrastructure, and enhancing transparency and trust among investors.
- Attracting Private and Structural Capital. The formation of a favorable investment climate for private investors and the stimulation of public-private partnerships are anticipated. Special attention will be given to actively attracting both domestic and foreign investments in various sectors of the economy, particularly in business, infrastructure development, and reconstruction projects.
- Strengthening the Institutional Capacity of the Regulator. The NSSMC plans to enhance its own effectiveness through the implementation of risk-oriented supervision, harmonization of regulatory standards with international IOSCO and EU standards, digitalization of analytical processes, and improvement of corporate governance.
Innovations in the Financial Sector and the Role of the National Bank
The National Bank of Ukraine has also announced the launch of a national innovation hub for the financial sector in 2026. NBU Chairman Andriy Pyshnyy emphasized that this hub, similar to the traditional Sandbox, will operate based on three key elements: open dialogue with the market, prompt regulatory improvements based on testing results, and the creation of a special legal regime for testing innovative services that are not yet regulated by current legislation.
