Ukraine central bank anti-corruption investigation

Ukraine’s anti-corruption agencies are investigating the National Bank of Ukraine and Governor Andriy Pyshnyi after searches of bank and personal premises.

Ukraine’s National Anti-Corruption Bureau and Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor’s Office searched the central bank headquarters and the governor’s residence on Tuesday. The agencies confirmed the operations on Telegram but did not disclose specific charges or detailed motives. The inquiry leaves the central bank’s governance, any possible allegations and any connection to Ukraine’s financing relationships unresolved.

The investigation matters for Ukraine’s central bank leadership, anti-corruption credibility, investors and international partners watching governance during wartime financing needs.

• Targets included Andriy Pyshnyi’s home and National Bank of Ukraine facilities. • NABU and SAPO conducted the searches. • No charges were disclosed in the supplied evidence. • The announcement gave no detailed motive for the searches.
