The Head of the National Securities and Stock Market Commission (NSSMC), Oleksiy Semeniuk, discussed with the owner of the TAS Group, Sergiy Tigipko, the conditions for attracting private capital into the Ukrainian economy and expanding investment opportunities for businesses and citizens, the commission reported on Tuesday.
“The market cannot be developed solely by the regulator’s decisions. It is important for us to hear from businesses, investors, and professional participants, while simultaneously ensuring clear and uniform rules of the game,” noted Semeniuk.
The meeting was held as part of the NSSMC’s series of consultations with representatives of the financial and real sectors, during which the regulator gathers proposals to prepare legislative and regulatory changes.
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 asset market, and the development of tokenization of real assets.
The NSSMC is working on simplifying business access to financing and improving standards of 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, wagon building, metallurgy, logistics, agriculture, food industry, packaging materials production, and real estate.
The TAS Group includes a number of corporate bond issuers, notably Tascombank, leasing company ULF-Finance, factoring company European Debt Collection Agency, transport and logistics company TAS-Logistic, freight car manufacturers TAS Dniprovagonmash, fasteners manufacturer DniproMetaliz TAS, and juice concentrate producer TAS Juice Plant Kodymsky.
