The National Bank of Ukraine has sold a complex of buildings in Odesa, which were acquired in the process of repaying debts for a refinancing loan issued by JSC “Imexbank”. This property had a total area of over 2,300 square meters and was damaged as a result of hostile attacks in 2024, which significantly affected its condition.

Auction and Sale Results
The complex was put up for auction in the Prozorro.Sales system with an initial price of about 24.8 million hryvnias. Due to high competition among six bidders, the price rose to 93 million hryvnias (excluding VAT). Following the auction, the winner was LLC “Osmynoh”, with which the National Bank signed a purchase agreement on May 19, 2026.
“This is the twentieth successfully completed property transaction in 2026, which the National Bank received in repayment of debts from insolvent banks to the regulator. Overall, since the beginning of the year, the National Bank has sold acquired and its own property for a total of over 179 million UAH,” commented NBU Deputy Chairman Yaroslav Matuzka.
Debt Repayment and Background of the Issue
Since the beginning of 2015, the National Bank has repaid nearly 20 billion hryvnias for refinancing loans issued to insolvent banks. As of May 2026, the remaining debt stands at 32.9 billion hryvnias.
JSC “Imexbank” was declared insolvent on January 26, 2015, when its debt to the NBU for refinancing loans exceeded 3.4 billion hryvnias. Over the following years, thanks to court decisions and the sale of pledged assets, the regulator managed to recover over 576 million hryvnias from this amount.
