Klimov is also the honorary president of the Odesa Banking Union and a Rada deputy. Nominally, the shareholder structure comprises 58 legal entities and 158 individuals, each of which owns a stake of less than 10%. However, over time the bank has transformed into a universal financial institution with 541 outlets and branches throughout the country, with the Odesa area remaining its core market. It ranks 31st out of 173 banks in Ukraine. Imexbank shareholder structure 81% Legal entities Individuals 19% Source: Company The bank’s assets grew 58% y.o.y in 2007 (compared with 55% y.o.y in 2006), which is lower than that of the entire sector (76%). With this growth, the bank was able to climb two rungs from 33rd to 31st largest bank in the country. Imexbank will need to reinforce its asset growth, as its goal is to take the top position among second.tier banks, and to enter the first tier in several years. Thus, we expect the pace of asset growth to increase as a result of new outlets being opened and the SME and private.customer base gaining strength. The growth will be supported by continuous capital increases and the attraction of new resources from IFIs, banks and shareholders. Imexbank’s nationwide regional network is one of the 10 largest in Ukraine. It includes a total of 541 outlets in all regions, though the largest portion is still located in Odesa (269 units). Successful regional development and steady network efficiency improvement are among the bank’s most important competitive advantages. Imexbank plans to enlarge its network and targets 700 branches by 2009. The bank is focused on its corporate business, with 73% of its loan portfolio occupied by corporate loans (construction, trade, agriculture and others). This exposure is defined by the bank’s relationship with the Primorye group, which is involved in the construction and hotel businesses, both of which are developing rapidly in southern Ukraine. The breadth of Imexbank’s branch network has led to an increase in the amount of corporate lending not connected with the group’s business, though at the moment, the bulk of corporate loans still come from the head office in Odesa. The bank plans to focus on SME lending to bolster its margins, which should help maintain healthy asset quality. Going forward, plans also include participation in the EBRD’s SME lending program. The average weighted interest rate for legal entities totaled 19.42% in 2007. 2 MARCH 26, 2008 IMEXBANK: PROFILE UPDATE ON 2007 UAS RESULTS Imexbank loan portfolio breakdown 21% Wholesale Construction 20% Hotels and restaurants 5% Automobile 5% Real estate 4% Agriculture 4% 28% Individuals Energy 3% Other 10 % Source: Company A strong retail network could also help Imexbank develop retail lending (currently 28% of its loan portfolio, up from 13.6% as of January 1, 2007). We note that Odesa Region, in which the bank has the strongest network and brand recognition, is Ukraine’s second most developed after Kyiv in terms of retail lending per capita. In Imexbank’s portfolio of loans to individuals, 64% consists of mortgage loans. In 2006, Imexbank concluded an agreement with the State Mortgage Agency that provided access to longer.term resources to finance mortgages. Other types of lending are being actively developed, though, and we expect the bank to continue boosting automobile loans ($7 mln, 6% of loans to individuals) and consumer loans ($39 mln, 30% of loans to individuals), which have both risen tenfold since 2005. Imexbank is also working on new products for individuals, such as loans for educational purposes, as well as mobile and e.banking. The bank is also developing its card business (more than 970,000 payment cards outstanding and 332 ATMs) and plans to implement an internal processing center. It is currently a member of Visa and MasterCard and has a national system of electronic payments. The bank has not changed its conservative approach toward risk taking, though, and the management assures that most of its card business is connected with salary projects rather than higher.risk credit cards. The average weighted interest rate for individuals totaled 16.38% in 2007. Imexbank’s asset quality is very healthy, with overdue loans at 0.63% of the portfolio as of January 1, 2008. Of these problem loans, 0.87% are in corporate and 0.43% in individual portfolios. Loan loss reserves cover NPLs by more than 2.5 times.

The main source of interest income is lending; fee and commission income comes from currency exchange operations, customer account services, money transferring, plastic cards and other sources.

The major achievements of Ukraine's macroeconomic development in 2005 primarily were the households' real income growth, unemployment decrease, inflation rate lowering and acceleration in the rates of foreign capi- tal attraction to Ukraine.

  • Ukrainian Banks: Growth and Risks
    Fixed Income Research Ukrainian banks: growth and risks outlook Serhiy Yahnych [email protected] See the appendix for important disclosures Sergey Fursa [email protected] Last update: November 2007 Ukrainian banks: growth and risks outlook Summary • Macroeconomic environment will remain supportive with regard to banking system growth. A key risk in long-term prospect is excessive reliance of Ukrainian exports on steel prices; • Growth rates of the banking system will moderate from current 60% to 43% in 2008, 23% in 2009, 17% in 2010. The key reason for a slowdown is scarce external resources to support further skyrocketing growth – this will force local banks to switch to domestic currency lending and tighten the risk management practices; • We estimate aggregate net funding needs of the banking system in 2008..2010 at UAH 70 bn. and $16 bn., most of which would fall on 2008; • Assets/liabilities maturity mismatch will continue to mount, especially in UAH part of the balance sheets. Rollover refinancing risks are on the rise and we see grounds for higher risk premiums for long durations; • Asset quality has been good up to date. Albeit expected slowdown may reveal some unpleasant details about 2002..2006 growth, this is unlikely to have a systemic nature; • A significant credit risk reduction potential is in place for those banks who will manage to find a strategic foreign investor. Majority of banks (especially from TOP-30) will be forced to seek a partner in order to maintain their market position. However, not all will succeed; • Due to desperate need for resources banks’ activity on the primary market will continue to rule high – we see virtually all TOP-30 banks hitting actively the local bond market in 2008 and on.

    ANNUAL REPORT OF UKRAINE ANNUAL REPORT 2007 Dear Ladies and Gentlemen, For the purpose of informing of the activity of the National Bank of Ukraine, I would like to offer you the Annual Report of the National Bank of Ukraine for 2007, which represents the results of the NBU activity. The financial report is an integral part of the Annual Report of the National Bank of Ukraine, which is con- firmed by the auditor’s conclusion. The characteristic feature of 2007 was preservation of high rates of econom- ic development against the background of political tension owing to the parlia- mentary elections. However, the banking system of Ukraine in 2007 was charac- terized by essential improvement of both qualitative and quantitative indicators of its development. Inflationary processes accelerated under the influence of the global tenden- cies towards rise in prices for energy carriers and food. The consumer price index in 2007 was also affected by reduction of crop production output due to adverse weather conditions. The National Bank of Ukraine pursued the monetary policy in compliance with the Monetary Policy Basic Guidelines for 2007. In the conditions of infla- tionary pressure amplification, the NBU actions were aimed at quantitative restriction of monetary offer as well as prevention of imbalances in the financial market by raising the attraction of operations in the national currency and by means of gradual restriction by economic methods of the funds attracted from non-residents. The National Bank of Ukraine assumed some measures to regu- late liquidity in order to prevent monetary pressure on prices. An increase by 52% in banks’ liabilities under deposits in 2007 was achieved mainly due to natural persons.

  • 9-0594-Annual Report-2008-25.06.2009
    NATIONAL BANK OF UKRAINE ANNUAL REP ORT 2008 Dear Sirs and Mesdames! Herewith we present to you the Annual Report of the National Bank of Ukraine for 2008. The main feature of the reporting year was aggravation of the world financial and economic crisis that provoked deceleration of the growth of the econ- omy of Ukraine. Whereas in the 1st half-year of 2008 the economy showed an upward trend due to the favorable conditions in the world market for raw materi- als, then in the 4th quarter the economic growth pace sharply slowed down due to reduction in the external demand, investment and consumer demand, as well as expansion of the crisis phenomena over the financial sector. Despite the downward dynamics of consumer prices in the second half of 2008, the inflationary pressure during the year remained at a high level - 22.3% inflation. Under these conditions the National Bank of Ukraine focused its efforts both on curbing the high inflation rate in the first half-year and on mitigating the hryv- nia's devaluation against world currencies by means of deliberate use of the mon- etary instruments and tools at the end of the year. In the 4th quarter of 2008, in the light of the unfavorable development of processes in the world economy, artificially provoked distrust in some banks and the banking system as a whole, and deposit outflow from the banks, the National Bank of Ukraine was concentrated on keeping the stability of the banking sector. During the year, the dynamics of deposits' attraction by banks drastically changed.
