KYIV, May 3 - The Fitch international rating agency has noted improvement in the solvency of Ukrainian banks, while noting that some financial institutions need additional capitalization, according to a press release from the rating agency.

"At the end of Q1, 2018, most of the largest 25 banks (together representing over 90% of sector assets) were compliant with the standard regulatory capital adequacy requirement of 10%," the document states.

Fitch experts added that problem assets remain relatively high.
