The National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) has deferred the full implementation of updated capital adequacy requirements for financial companies until September 30, 2026, according to the regulator's website.

According to NBU Board Resolution No. 33 of April 2, 2026, financial companies must meet capital adequacy requirements by September 30, excluding any reduction in capital due to deductions specified in the prudential requirements regulation. However, as of the first day of each month, they are required to perform a test calculation taking such deductions into account.

"The National Bank of Ukraine neither issues a document recording the violation, nor applies enforcement measures to the financial company if errors are detected during its... test calculation," the resolution states.

From October 1, 2026, financial companies will be required to comply with prudential capital adequacy requirements, taking into account the reduction in its size due to deductions.

The resolution amends NBU Board Resolution No. 192 of December 27, 2023, which approved the regulation on prudential requirements for financial companies.

The document was officially published on April 2 and comes into force on April 3, 2026.
