Government meeting

Participants:
"In the next few months, the state will considerably increase the share of its participation in the banking capital of the second level. This primarily applies to private commercial banks. I'd like to stress once again that I'm talking about the second level, that is, so-called subordinated loans. They are given for a long term and cannot be recalled ahead of time. For this reason, banks register them as their capital. However, creditors do not have the right to take part in administering banks; the ownership of banks does not change, either."
