Ukraine: Securitization & Structured Finance

The National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) passed a new Regulation No. 996 lifting the ban on registration of transfers and assignments of cross-border loan agreements from 11 January 2016.

Following the break-up of the USSR, the Ukrainian economy went into a lingering depression. In the last few years, however, its potential has been recovering: Ukraine is now one of the most successful of the former Soviet republics in attracting foreign investment. The main issue for a foreign investor is thus not whether to invest, but how best to enter the Ukrainian market.
