National Bank strips deputy governor Rozhkova of powers after media scandal

Deputy Governor of the National Bank Kateryna Rozhkova has been stripped of most of her responsibilities at the bank weeks after she was reprimanded for talking to media.

Rozhkova — one of the two remaining members of the six-person team left at the central bank after the previous governor resigned due to political pressure — was barred from carrying out her major responsibilities, the National Bank stated on Oct. 20.
