The National Bank of Ukraine and the People's Bank of China have recently renewed a bilateral currency swap agreement for another three years. The maximum amount of the currency swap line remains unchanged – RMB 15 billion, or UAH 62 billion (over $2.2 billion). The currency swap agreement was signed by NBU Governor Yakiv Smolii and PBC Governor Yi Gang during a working visit of the NBU delegation to Beijing.
A total of 94.94% of Ukrgasbank's charter capital belongs to the state represented by the Ukrainian Finance Ministry. Since 2015, Ukrgasbank has been on the list of state-owned facilities of strategic importance for the state's economy and security (Cabinet of Ministers resolution No. 83).
