Ukraine’s National Commission on Securities and Stock Market (NSSMC) has approved a revised procedure for the return of blocked assets belonging to clients of Freedom Finance Ukraine LLC. The procedure is intended to set out the specific steps for the actual return of blocked funds and, together with Freedom Finance’s list of client assets, provide the legal basis for client claims. The revised text was finalised after a working meeting with the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU), incorporating the NBU’s proposals covering actions and entities regulated and supervised by the NBU. It also reflects the positions of the Central Depository and the Settlement Center, and follows an earlier public discussion of the draft decision. Next, the procedure is to be officially approved by the NBU, then approved at a Commission meeting and registered by the Ministry of Justice.
