The nationalization of the bank will not affect the fulfillment of its obligations to depositors and clients. The Ministry of Finance has been designated as the body managing corporate rights to the bank's shares owned by the state.

The bank's nationalization procedure, including the appointment of new management, will be completed as soon as possible to ensure its uninterrupted operation. The state's participation in the removal of a systemically important bank from the market is a necessary step to preserve the stability of the banking system and an effective method of protecting a bank's depositors and creditors in case sanctions are imposed on bank's owners.
