The National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) is strengthening alignment of its banking regulation with EU standards, according to the June 2025 Financial Stability Report. The goal is to enhance financial resilience and facilitate European banks’ operations in Ukraine.Key steps include the introduction of a leverage ratio in September 2025, which will limit balance sheet growth in about 40% of banks, and updated credit risk rules effective from August 2026, with lower risk weights for SME loans (75%) and mortgages (45%). From March 2026, settlement risk and credit value adjustment will also be factored into capital adequacy.These reforms are part of a broader strategy to harmonize Ukrainian financial regulation with the EU. The NBU expects to move closer to launching the formal equivalence assessment process within a year, marking an important step toward European integration.https://bank.gov.ua/ua/news/all/zvit-pro-finansovu-stabilnist-cherven-2025-roku (ICE KIEV)
