Assessing the Reliability of Ukrainian Banks According to V. Kromonov's Rating Methodology

Assessment of the reliability of banks and their rating is a relevant issue for all participants of the financial market. Taking into account the fact that a methodology should be based on the availability of information data, clarity and openness of the algorithm, and a limited number of analyzed indicators, the authors, for assessing the reliability of the banking system of Ukraine in separate banking groups, chose the most popular methodology of V. Kromonov. The article contains the results of assessment of V. Kromonov's rating model indicators for the period 01.01.2017–01.06.2021 for the banking system of Ukraine in general, as well as for the group of banks with the State-owned share, banks of foreign banking groups and banks with private capital. It is identified that the level of reliability of the banking system of both Ukraine and banking groups is in poor condition, since the calculated values of integral reliability coefficients do not exceed the value of 30 points, which indicates the presence of significant problems in the functioning of the banking market, imbalance of assets and liabilities, low level of solvency of banks and same for liquidity of assets. A comparative characterization showed that the reliability of Ukrainian banks with the State-owned share is significantly inferior to the reliability of banks of foreign banking groups and banks with private capital. It is determined that the amount of equity of the banking system of Ukraine is not sufficient to repay possible losses in case of non-return or return in an impairment form of a working asset. A computation of liquidity coefficients showed a tendency to reduce the level of coverage of liabilities by liquid assets of banking institutions, to reduce the solvency of the banking system and worsen the ability of banks to fulfill their obligations. Improving their reliability should be one of the primary strategic tasks of all banks
