KYIV, Nov 13 – The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) has pointed out stabilization of the Ukrainian banking system, while non-performing loan (NPL) figures have increased, the bank reported.

Today, the banking system of Ukraine has stabilized after three years of efforts aimed at cleaning and consolidating inefficient and weak banks. At the same time, systemic risks of a relatively high level of NPL and a high degree of state ownership remain, the bank said.
