    http://www.centralbanking.com/operational-risk/governance/3238311/ukraines-gontareva-on-one-of- the-toughest-jobs-in-central-banking Ukraine’s Gontareva on one of the toughest jobs in central banking Christopher Jeffery Dan Hardie 12 May 2017 The outgoing National Bank of Ukraine governor speaks about transforming the central bank while engaging in wartime deficit funding and overhauling the banking sector How did you end up as governor of the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU)? This is really a question for the president, Petro Poroshenko. But perhaps it was because I was a seasoned banker with more than 20 years of experience and the president knew me personally. The request came as big surprise and, initially, I refused it. But he convinced me. And it also came just after the ‘Revolution of Dignity’ [the Maidan Revolution in 2014, which overthrew then-president Viktor Yanukovych], at a very patriotic time when everybody wanted to implement real reform. After a few weeks of quite difficult discussions, the president convinced me to accept his proposal, and my nomination was put to Ukraine’s parliament, the Verkhovna Rada, where a majority of the deputies who voted supported the motion. Were there any terms you required from President Poroshenko in terms of support or otherwise before you took on your role? At the time, it was a very difficult macro situation. So we only discussed some general areas for reform – particularly the real need for reform in the banking sector – but nothing on specific details, of what should be done. What was the situation like when you took over as governor? It was the epicentre of a perfect storm.

  • Appendices I
    Appendices I. Archival Sources Archival research for this monograph was conducted in Lviv, the former capital of Galicia, in 1983. To orient myself in the rich archival holdings of this city, I benefitted from the unpublished manuscript of Patricia K. Grimsted's forthcoming guide to Soviet Ukrainian archives and manuscript repositories' as well as from a number of published works.' Plans to use archives in Ternopil and Ivano-Frankivsk were frustrated, as was the plan to use the manuscript collection of the Institute of Literature of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR (in Kiev). Work in the Austrian archives in 1982 did not uncover sources of direct relevance to the subject of this monograph, but the Viennese archives remain an important and little-explored repository of historical documentation on Galician history. The richest collection of unpublished sources on the history of Galicia during the Austrian period is located in the Central State Historical Archives of the Ukrainian SSR in Lviv (U Tsentrainyi derzhavnyi istorychnyi arkhiv URSR u rn. Lvovi; abbre- viated as TsDIAL). The Central Archives have inherited the papers of various Galician government institutions and major civic organizations. Unfortunately, there is no published guide to these archives, although a number of articles describe aspects of their holdings.' The papers of the Presidium of the Galician Viceroy's Office (U Haiytske narnisnytstvo, rn. Lviv. Prezydiia) are contained in TsDIAL, fond 146, opysy 4-8 (and presumably others). Particularly valuable for this study were documents dealing with the publication and confiscation of political brochures and periodicals, including , Patricia K.
