OREANDA-NEWS. November 19, 2012. The Chairman of the Management Board of Kreditprombank Viktor Leonidov became one of TOP 25 best bankers of Ukraine according to the reputable business magazine "Money.ua". As was noted by the edition, Viktor Leonidov managed to guide the bank through the crisis without substantial losses, reported the press-centre of Kreditprombank.

For assessment of performance of Chairmen of Management Boards the authors of the rating used three groups of indicators: asset growth (reflects expansion or closing of business), growth of retail deposit base (reflects the level of trust to the bank) and profitability/losses of the bank. The indicators of asset and deposit growth were considered for two periods of time – from the beginning of the crisis (2Q 2008) till the end of 2010 and from the beginning of 2011 till 3Q 2012.  Profitability of the bank was measured both by standard profit/loss indicator and by financial result adjusted by provisions made.

“First person of the bank means a lot: strong manager can make the bank a leader despite the crisis and scarce funding while bad manager can bury the bank despite generous support from shareholders. That is why the names of some CEOs are already the brands and a sort of quality signs for the banks under their management”, notes the magazine "Money.ua".

It is not the first time that the experts appreciate the work of Viktor Leonidov. Thus, in 2011 he was recognized as one of the best managers in Ukrainian banking sector according to the edition “100 best top-managers of Ukraine”. The managers of Ukrainian financial institutions taking part in the survey noted his perfect business reputation, personal authority among the clients and competitors, ability to lobby the interests of his bank and form positive image of the brand, high management, corporate and will potential.  Today Kreditprombank chaired by Viktor Leonidov remains one of the most stable and reliable financial institutions of Ukraine.
