For G-7 countries, however, the aid package promised Ukraine also appeared to be aimed not at handing Ukraine "charity," as described by Russian Foreign Minister Andiei Kozyrev (a surprise visitor to the confcience), but at entering a partnership with the Kyyiv government on the principle of "help for self- help," as suggested by Canada's Foreign Affairs Minister Andre Oucllcl.

    International Banking and Securities Law 2.1 (2017) 1–81 brill.com/brp Ukrainian Banking Regulation: Its Challenges and Transition towards European Standards Olga Afanasyeva, PhD Ukrainian Venture Capital and Private Equity Association (UVCA) [email protected] Armin J. Kammel Lauder Business School; California Lutheran University [email protected] Abstract For the last years, Ukraine and particulalry its financial sector were seeking to gradu- ally apply and comply with EU standards. Latest with the signing of the EU-Ukraine Association Agreement in 2014 the transition towards EU standards has a formal basis. Since then, Ukraine – with strong support from the EU – is in the process of imple- menting legislative and regulatory measures in order to comply with this Agreement. Against this background, this contribution wants to shed some light into Ukraine’s efforts as well as to explain some of the complexities of this process by providing an in-depth background of the current Ukrainian banking regulation, its economics and the challenges of complying with new EU standards. Keywords Ukraine – banking regulation – EU-Ukraine Association Agreement – banking system – EU financial regulation – implementation of EU standards 1 The Transition of Ukrainian Banking Regulation The recent period of Ukrainian history, starting from its declaration of inde- pendence and culminating in the signing of the EU-Ukraine Association © Olga Afanasyeva and Armin J.
