Philippe Joannier, former Chairman of the Management Board and current member of the Supervisory Council of UkrSibbank BNP Paribas Group, has been named among top 3 bankers of Ukraine by 17th annual rating "Financial Oskar 2014" of the "Business" magazine.

UkrSibbank has also been included in Top 10 best banks of Ukraine and Top 5 banks in terms of individual financing. The rating was based on the volume and dynamics of deposits, stress resistance, liquidity, solvency and responsibility to depositors.

I arrived to Ukraine in the autumn of 2010 and spent 4.5 wonderful, even though quite challenging, years here," said Philippe Joannier. "The first thing to impress me was strong bureaucracy within the bank and in the country in general, but at the same time - the courage of Ukrainians in the face of a severe crisis. Today I can say in all honesty that the Ukrainian team was the best I've ever worked with - and I worked in BNP Paribas on 5 continents."
