Quote: “The Deposit Guarantee Fund began selling the assets of Russian state-owned banks through the Prozorro.Sale system at the end of July 2022. These are the assets of MR Bank (formerly Sberbank) and Prominvestbank. The system has successfully completed 415 online auctions for the sale of assets of these banks for more than UAH 5.2 billion over the past two years.”
Details: It is noted that the average competition at such auctions is three participants, and the average price increase is 22%. More than 700 bidders have already competed for these assets at electronic auctions.
The auction for the sale of a 2015 Volkswagen Passat attracted the most bidders – 48 people. As a result of the auction, the value of the asset increased from the starting price of UAH 224,400 (US$5,443) to UAH 610,000 (US$14,798).
The most expensive lot sold during this period was a claim under loan agreements secured by a solar power plant and its equipment, as well as registered shares. The lot was sold at a Dutch auction for over UAH 683 million (US$16.5 million). ⠀
All proceeds from the sale of the seized Russian assets will be transferred to the Fund for the Elimination of the Consequences of Armed Aggression of Russia.
