The head of the National Securities and Stock Market Commission (NSSMC), Oleksiy Semeniuk, discussed with the owner of the TAS group, Serhiy Tigipko, the conditions for attracting private capital into the Ukrainian economy and expanding investment opportunities for businesses and citizens, the commission reported on Tuesday.
“It is impossible to develop the market solely through the regulator’s decisions. It is important for us to hear from businesses, investors, and professional participants, while ensuring clear and equal rules of the game,” noted Semeniuk.
The meeting took place within the framework of the NSSMC’s series of consultations with representatives of the financial and real sectors, during which the regulator is collecting proposals for preparing legislative and regulatory changes.
The participants discussed the development of corporate and municipal bonds, investment funds, securitization, and other instruments for attracting long-term financing alongside domestic government loan bonds.
Semeniuk also presented legislative initiatives regarding individual investment accounts, which are intended to become a mechanism for long-term savings for citizens through the capital market.
Other areas of the commission’s work include the introduction of securitization for financing housing, infrastructure, and energy projects, the formation of rules for the virtual assets market, and the development of tokenization of real assets.
The NSSMC is working on simplifying business access to financing and improving standards for transparency, corporate governance, and investor protection.
The TAS Group is one of the largest financial and industrial groups in Ukraine, operating in the banking sector, insurance, railway car manufacturing, metallurgy, logistics, agro-sector, food industry, packaging material production, and real estate.
The TAS Group includes a number of corporate bond issuers, including Tascombank, leasing company ULF-Finance, factoring company European Debt Collection Agency, transport and logistics company TAS-Logistic, freight car manufacturers TAS Dniprovagonmash, fasteners manufacturer Dniprometiz TAS, and juice concentrate producers TAS Kodyma Juice Plant.
