OREANDA-NEWS. July 22, 2015. President sent a package of bills designed to optimize the state regulation of non-banking financial services to the Parliament according to Representative of the President in the Cabinet of Ministers Oleksandr Danyliuk.

The bills provide for the liquidation of the State Commission for Regulation of Financial Services Markets in Ukraine. Its functions would be shared between the National Commission for Securities and Stock Market and the National Bank of Ukraine. "The non-bank financial services market has been growing. There is an urgent need to improve the market regulatory framework to ensure the dynamic development of the market," Oleksandr Danyliuk said.

According to the bills, the National Commission for Securities and Stock Market would be responsible for the regulation of private pension funds, co-investment funds, construction funds, issuers of mortgage certificates, and trust companies; the National Bank of Ukraine would be responsible for the regulation of insurance companies, credit unions and agencies, credit bureaus, and financial institutions (leasing and factoring companies, money transfer companies, pawnshops, etc.).

According to him, after optimizing the scope of authorities of the regulating agencies, the reform of the market of non-banking financial services should be implemented. "Unified standards and rules should be implemented. The market should be clean and the independence of regulators should also be reinforced. In particular, the option of introducing market mechanisms for funding the National Commission for Securities and Stock Market is considered for the Commission not to depend on the state budget," Oleksandr Danyliuk said.
