The National Bank of Ukraine has not received any official notification from potential investors on purchase of Sberbank or documents required for obtaining substantial shareholding.
A representative of the National Bank told this to Ukrainian News Agency.
The National Bank notes that permissions for acquisition of substantial shareholding in the capital of banks are issued in the frames of requirements and the legislation.
The National Bank of Ukraine is hoping banks with Russian state capital will leave the Ukrainian market in a civilized way, including through sale.
As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, Sberbank (the Russian Federation) announced it has agreed with the Norvik Banka consortium (the Republic of Latvia) and a company from the Republic of Belarus on sale of its Sberbank subsidiary in Ukraine.
Norvik Banka is the eighth largest bank in Latvia (in terms of its assets).
It is part of Norvik Group, which also unites Russian Viatka-bank and British Norvik Banka UK Limited.
The majority stockholder of the bank is Russian businessman Grigory Guselnykov, longstanding participant in famous Russian TV show called What? Where? When? ["Что? Где? Когда?"].
