Vienna, CEE Forum and new cooperation horizons 2026

We are starting this year with one of the most important events in the financial sector of Central and Eastern Europe.

On 13-14 January, Pivdenny Bank’s delegation once again took part in The Central & Eastern European Forum in Vienna, where partnerships with existing partner banks are strengthened, new connections are established, and capital market trends originate for the upcoming year.

The delegation consisted of:

• Oleksandr Novikov, Director of the Department of Treasury and Interbank Operations.
• Yurii Voievoda, Director of the Department of Investment Business.

Live communication with European colleagues only reinforced our belief that they remain interested in the Ukrainian financial market and trust in reliable partners is only growing.

“The main takeaway of the forum: European correspondent banks not only retain trust in us but are also ready to develop our cooperation. We have successfully agreed on the parameters of cooperation for 2026. For our clients, this means one thing: the stability of international settlements and the reliability of transactional business remain our priority, which will be ensured at the highest level,” shared Oleksandr Novikov.

Yurii Voievoda on the investors’ stance:

“International financial institutions are increasing their support for Ukrainian business and will play a key role in financing reconstruction of the country. We discussed specific mechanisms and financial instruments within the framework of the Forum for launching projects in the near future, and Pivdenny Bank is ready to act as a reliable “bridge” between European capital and the Ukrainian economy.”

We spent two days communicating non-stop with partners. We are satisfied with the outcomes of the Forum and cannot wait to return to work with new ideas!
