20 May 20:50
The National Bank of Ukraine has sold a complex of buildings in Odesa that it had received in partial satisfaction of creditor claims under a refinancing loan provided to Imexbank JSC. This move is part of the NBU’s strategy to recover debts from insolvent banks.
This was reported by the National Bank’s press service , as reported by "Komersant Ukrainian".
The complex of buildings in Odesa has a total area of over 2,300 square meters. As a result of enemy attacks in 2024, the property sustained significant damage, so its starting price at the auction on the Prozorro.Sales platform was approximately 24.8 million UAH.

Details of the deal
Due to significant competition among the six bidders, the final price of the property complex rose to 93 million UAH (excluding VAT). The winner of the auction was Osminog LLC, and the purchase agreement was signed on May 19, 2026.
NBU Deputy Governor Yaroslav Matuzka noted:
“This is the twentieth successfully completed property transaction in 2026 involving assets that the National Bank received in settlement of insolvent banks’ debts to the regulator. In total, since the beginning of the year, the National Bank has sold acquired and owned property for a total amount of over UAH 179 million. Efforts to ensure the repayment of non-performing debt on refinancing loans of insolvent banks will continue.”
Since 2015, the NBU has recovered nearly UAH 20 billion in debt on refinancing loans from insolvent banks. Currently, the outstanding debt balance stands at UAH 32.9 billion.
As a reminder, on January 26, 2015, the NBU decided to classify JSC “Imexbank” as insolvent, with over UAH 3.4 billion in outstanding refinancing loans to the NBU. Through legal proceedings and the sale of collateral at auctions, the regulator has recovered over UAH 576 million of this amount.
