Key Directions for Modernizing the Financial Market
- Development of the Capital Market. A modern investment attraction system is planned to be created, which will provide businesses with access to long-term financing. This includes improving existing financial instruments, developing corporate bonds, building an effective market infrastructure, and enhancing transparency and investor trust.
- Attracting Private and Structural Capital. The regulator intends to create favorable conditions for investors and stimulate public-private partnerships. Special emphasis is placed on attracting both domestic and foreign investments into businesses, infrastructure projects, and the country’s recovery programs.
- Strengthening the Institutional Capacity of the Regulator. This direction involves increasing the efficiency of the Commission itself: implementing risk-oriented supervision, harmonizing regulations with the requirements of international standards such as IOSCO and the EU, digitizing analytical processes, and improving corporate governance.
The National Bank Prepares to Create an Innovation Hub
At the same time, the National Bank of Ukraine announced the launch of a national innovation hub for the financial sector in 2026. This was stated by the head of the NBU, Andriy Pyshny, at the Forbes Banker forum. The new innovation hub, similar to the traditional Sandbox, will be based on three key aspects: open dialogue with the market regarding innovations, prompt improvement of regulatory practices based on testing results, and the establishment of a special legal regime for testing new financial services that are not yet regulated by current legislation.
