The Union of Russian Investors supported the idea of ??the First Deputy Prime Minister - Minister of Finance Anton Siluanov to create a working group to help citizens who have lost their savings due to the revocation of a license from banks..

Activists sent letters to State Duma deputies asking them to clarify the prospects for creating such a body.. “The problems of the affected investors are really relevant, it’s not for nothing that the Minister of Finance drew attention to them,” said Nikolai Nikolayev, the head of the Union of Investors.. According to him, Siluanov agreed that the citizens who lost their savings in the bank "Ugra" and other credit organizations were in a difficult life situation.. "The state already has experience in creating such commissions, because at one time the authorities dealt with the problems of currency mortgage holders. Obviously, now our question is most urgent on the agenda ", - emphasized Nikolaev. At the end of October, Siluanov, commenting on ways to solve the problem of affected investors, suggested creating a working group with the Central Bank and the DIA to work on this issue and try to find resources to help citizens. However, the Central Bank considered the creation of this structure inexpedient, since the rights of bank customers are already sufficiently protected at the legislative level. Experts stood up to protect affected investors. "Yes, we have a law that protects part of the deposits, but there are also deposits more than 1.4 million rubles. and the most important thing is that the system of further compensation to investors is complex and nervous, ”said Valery Semenov, member of the Council of the Federation Committee on Budget and Financial Markets. - In addition, which is also very important, people lose faith in the financial system of the country, when such a top bank as Ugra is deprived of licenses.

Where, then, to invest money if such a bank is closed? On the contrary, faith must be strengthened ", - lead" Arguments of the week "opinion of the senator. The license of the bank "Ugra" was withdrawn by the Central Bank in July 2017.

In September 2018, the Moscow Arbitration Court declared the bank bankrupt. Depositors of a credit organization that was in the top 30 in the Russian Federation paid about 170 billion rubles.. that became the largest insured event in the history of banks of the Russian Federation, reminds "Morning". Meanwhile, about 35 thousand depositors and legal entities still can not return their funds. Representatives of the bank continue to challenge the legality of the actions of the regulator.
