Ukraine’s deputy central bank governor said on July 23 she struggled to see how a second bid from Belarus’s state-owned Paritetbank for the Ukrainian unit of Russia’s Sberbank (SBER.MM) could be approved after the first was turned down.
The Russian lender put its Ukrainian unit up for sale in March 2017 after Kyiv imposed sanctions on Sberbank and other Russian state banks operating in Ukraine following tensions over pro-Russian secessionists in the country’s east.
