The National Bank of Ukraine as a subject of prevention of criminal offenses

Abstract

This article analyzes the content of legislative acts regulating the activities of the National Bank of Ukraine and determines its content in the context of preventing criminal offenses in this branch of public relations, and also proposes scientifically based measures aimed at eliminating the problems existing in this regard.

According to the results of the study of normative legal acts, the legislation of Ukraine on banking is the Constitution of Ukraine, international treaties, the binding nature of which has been approved by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine and other laws. In addition, in accordance with the requirements of the Law of Ukraine "On the National Bank of Ukraine", written decisions of the National Bank, duly issued and within its powers and content do not contradict current legislation and are not related to violation of constitutional rights and freedoms , are subject to execution by other banking institutions and their branches, including abroad. At the same time, in case of contradiction of the norms of this Law with the norms of other legislative acts, including the relevant Codes of Ukraine, the norms of the said Law shall prevail.

However, it should be recognized that if you apply a systematic approach, then the appropriate changes in this regard require all regulations relating to banking and security activities in this area of ​​public relations. In particular, again, in this sense, certain provisions of the Law of Ukraine "On the National Bank of Ukraine" draw attention. Thus, there is no norm in this Law that would define the tasks of the specified institution, which is necessary and obligatory for any state body.

At the same time, if we take into account the fact that the tasks of banking institutions are not enshrined in the basic Law of Ukraine "On Banks and Banking", this problem acquires not only and not so much theoretical significance, but has an applied nature for the banking system, which led the choice of the subject of research in this scientific article.
