First Deputy Minister of Economic Development and Trade of Ukraine Yulia Kovaliv spoke about this in an interview with the Kyiv magazine “Focus”, answering the question how close is the privatization of the Ukrainian railway, Ukrposhta and state banks
“The project for the development of state banks has already planned the privatization of Ukrgasbank,” she said. – As for other state banks, the issue is currently being discussed. The issue of selling a minority stake to any of the international financial corporations is being considered.”
Regarding the railway, the deputy minister says, there are several models.
“Most likely, the railway track itself will not be subject to privatization. And everything else - stations, rolling stock - can become a competitive market, and not a state monopoly, as it is now,” Kovaliv believes.
In addition, she does not rule out the privatization of Ukrposhta, although she stipulated that such a prospect is “unlikely in the medium term.”
