The Ukraine National Commission on Securities and Stock Market reported that its Chair, Oleksii Semeniuk, met with representatives of Kernel to discuss a pilot corporate bond issuance in Ukraine, using a single practical case to test how capital market infrastructure operates and where changes may be needed. The discussion also covered the regulatory environment, with the Commission finalising work on a regulation on OIR intended to simplify procedures for entering the market. The Commission pointed to rising demand for investment instruments, noting that the increase in investments in domestic government bonds (OVDP) has exceeded UAH 12bn, and linked this domestic resource to the need to expand funding channels through corporate bonds. The parties agreed to move forward with the pilot issuance process while the Commission completes the OIR framework.
