OREANDA-NEWS. December 28, 2007. "The tendency of entrance of foreign banks to the Ukrainian market by means of acquisition of domestic banks will be saved and in 2008. However much these will be middle and small financial institutions – jars from the first ten mainly either already belong to the foreigners or are state, – said the Head of fund and Investor relationships department of RODOVID BANK Pavlo Vdovich. – Most attractive for buyers will be banks with the ramified regional network and clear strategy of further growth. From TOP-30 of banks only 11 have a foreign strategic investor. Shareholders of all of other banks, except for some, fully probably, can get suggestions from which they will not be able to renounce.

In the whole, arrival of foreign players results in the increase of capitalization and decline of level of risks in the banking system. In spite of the fact that the stake of foreign capital in a sector already exceeded 30%, the National bank next year will not undertake measures on limitation of this process".
