Sustainable work of Belgazprombank is the task of the interim administration

Especially for you, we have collected answers to key questions about the bank's activities and the stability of its work, asked by journalists to Nadezhda Yermakova at the end of the first week of the interim administration's office - June 19.

Viktor Pazhitok, Komsomolskaya Pravda in Belarus:

– What is the current financial and economic condition of the bank? Do his clients have reason to be concerned?

- The financial position of Belgazprombank is stable, the bank's assets and liabilities correspond to the required indicators. Clients can be confident in the functioning of the bank's infrastructure and in the reliability of savings.

- Why was it necessary to introduce a temporary administration? After all, such a measure is applied to banks that have financial problems. And Belgazprombank is one of the most successful commercial banks.

– The decision to introduce a temporary administration was made by the NATIONAL BANK of the Republic of Belarus in order to ensure the stable functioning, continuity of its activities in providing banking services and the fulfillment of its obligations to depositors and creditors for the period of formation of a new composition of the executive body - the board, because from the previous composition, 3 members of the board remained in the performance of official duties.

- In addition to you, there are eight people in the interim administration. Where does this team come from - from Belarusbank, which you headed for many years, from the National Bank? Did you choose it yourself?

– The team of members of the interim administration was selected by me in agreement with the National Bank. These are employees of Belarusbank and Belagroprombank.

Viktor Bobrik:

- Who ended up in the team from the board, which was before June 11 of this year - before the searches at the bank's HEAD office?

- The temporary administration does not include representatives of the board of Belgazprombank, while at the same time, Alexander Sotnikov, Irina Potapova and executive DIRECTOR Tatyana Avramenko remained in their positions as deputy chairmen of the board.

- Does Belgazprombank make contributions to the reserve of the Agency for Guaranteed Reimbursement of Bank Deposits (Deposits) of Individuals? Is there a debt?

- Belgazprombank (like other Belarusian banks) has no debt to the Agency and never had.

Dmitry Zayats, Belapan:

- What specific tasks does the interim administration of the bank set for this bank? Does the interim administration plan to transfer powers to manage the bank to the board this year?

- The main task of the interim administration is to ensure the stable functioning of the bank, the continuity of its activities for the provision of banking services and the fulfillment of its obligations to depositors and creditors. The transfer of powers from the temporary administration to the board of the bank is possible subject to the formation of the board of the bank, which is approved by the board of directors of OAO Belgazprombank.

Vitaly Zhagolkin, Interfax:

How long will the interim administration last? Is it likely that a new board of the bank will be formed?

- The temporary administration will carry out its activities until the Board of Directors of Belgazprombank forms a new management team - the bank's board.

– In this situation, how do you assess the role of banking supervision and the audit company that audited Belgazprombank's financial statements in accordance with IFRS?

- The problems identified by KGC are not in the plane of inspections of the National Bank and external audit.

- Is the bank currently experiencing problems with foreign exchange liquidity? Did you attract financial support from the National Bank? Is Belgazprombank ready to fully fulfill its obligations to depositors and creditors?

- There are no problems with liquidity due to the participation of the National Bank of Belarus and the banking system as a whole.
