U.S. Embassy Chargé d’Affaires a.i. William Taylor met with National Bank of Ukraine Governor Yakiv Smolii and congratulated the National Bank of Ukraine on receiving the American Chamber of Commerce in Ukraine’s 2019 Thanksgiving Choice of the Business Community Award.

“I firmly believe that the National Bank of Ukraine has played a critical role in advancing reforms that are key to Ukraine’s economic stability and growth,” Taylor said, the U.S. Embassy in Ukraine posted on Facebook.

The diplomat also expressed his conviction that Ukrainian people deserve a bright economic future, with strong job prospects for young Ukrainians.

“A fully independent National Bank focused on continuing to clean up the banking sector will boost foreign investor confidence in Ukraine,” Taylor emphasized.
