The Committee on Banking Supervision and Regulation, Payment System Monitoring (Oversight) has amended Resolution No.
657, dated 31December 2015, by expanding the criteria for identifying banks belonging to foreign banking groups. The Committee has issued Resolution No.
1to this effect.
Following the disclosure of the new criteria for splitting banks into groups, the practical applicability of this approach was discussed with users ofstatistical information. After reviewing the proposals, it was decided to expand the criteria so that the grouping of banks would provide a more clearpicture of the origin of capital and the corporate governance structure within the group. Under the new criteria, banks belonging to foreign bankinggroups comprise banks in which majority stakes are held foreign banks or foreign financial and banking groups holding a controlling stake in at leastone banking institution.
Therefore, the following six banks have been additionally included into the group of banks belonging to foreign banking groups: ALFA-BANK PJSC,
UNIVERSAL BANK PJSC, PROCREDIT BANK PJSC, NEOS BANK PJSC, IDEA
BANK PJSC and Bank FORWARD PJSC.
The classification of banks into groups is used by the NBU for analytical purposes to assess performance indicators across the groups of banks andcapture the overall trends in the banking sector. This classification is not directly used for supervisory purposes and it does not impact theoperational requirements for banks.
