The credit portfolio of PrivatBank, which is identified as associated with the previous shareholders, at the end of 2018 reached 212,8 billion hryvnia compared to the 185,58 billion at the end of 2017.
This is stated in the annual audited statements published on the official website of the Bank.

“The end result is impossible to determine, except for the amounts that are already recognized in the consolidated financial statements. Consequently, the group has not recognised an additional reserve for these claims,” reads the document.
