Ukrainian Parliament passes bill limiting court access to foreign bank secrecy data
The Verkhovna Rada approved in first reading bill No. 15555, which restricts courts from obtaining certain banking‑secret information transferred to the National Bank of Ukraine by foreign supervisory authorities. Under the new rules, courts cannot request these data as evidence, and the NBU may disclose them only with the foreign regulator’s consent and for a defined purpose. The legislation applies specifically to information received from abroad, not to all Ukrainian banking data, and aims to align with EU requirements.
