The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine on August 31 allocated UAH 50 million to the "State Savings Bank" ("Oshchadbank") to compensate for deposits in the Savings Bank of the former USSR that were placed before 1992 and depreciated as a result of hyperinflation. This tranche is the first since the beginning of the current year. As reported in "Oshchadbank," UAH 10 million of the allocated sum will be directed toward making compensation payments in the amount of UAH 50 to depositors who did not receive them in 2002-2005. Another UAH 5 million will be directed toward paying financial assistance in the amount of up to UAH 150 to the heirs of depositors who died in 2003-2004.
