Dmytro Ihorovych Oliinyk (Ukrainian: Дмитро Ігорович Олійник; born April 18, 1986) is a Ukrainian financier and civil servant who has served as the Deputy Governor of the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) since October 2022. He oversees the Prudential Supervision block, including regulation of the banking and non-banking financial sectors.[1]
Biography and Education
Oliinyk graduated from Khmelnytskyi National University in 2007 with a degree in Economic Cybernetics. He later earned a PhD from the same institution in 2011.
He began his banking career in 2005 at Ukrsibbank. Between 2007 and 2013, he held various positions in several Ukrainian and international banks. In 2013, he joined PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) as a consultant specializing in the banking sector of Central and Eastern Europe.[2]
In 2017, Oliinyk joined the state-owned Oschadbank, where he served as Director of the Credit Risk Department and later as Director of the General Risk Management Department. In 2019, he was appointed Director of the Financial Policy Department at the Ministry of Finance of Ukraine. From May 2021 until his NBU appointment, he served as the Director General of the Economic Policy Directorate within the Office of the President of Ukraine.[3]
On October 25, 2022, the NBU Council appointed Oliinyk as Deputy Governor upon the nomination of Governor Andriy Pyshnyy.[4]
Controversies and investigations
As a high-ranking official overseeing banking supervision, Oliinyk’s activities have been the subject of investigative journalism and scrutiny by anti-corruption bodies.
NABU Investigation and Dubai Real Estate
In November 2025, the High Anti-Corruption Court (HACC) ordered the National Anti-Corruption Bureau (NABU) to open criminal proceedings regarding the possible illicit enrichment of Dmytro Oliinyk. The case centers on allegations of undisclosed assets in the United Arab Emirates. Media reports indicated that Oliinyk’s family owns luxury real estate in Dubai's Zenith Tower, registered under his former wife’s name. This property was notably absent from his 2023 financial disclosure, despite the declaration mentioning his ex-wife’s income sourced from the UAE.[5]
Allegations of Fictitious Divorce
Journalistic investigations published in mid-2025 alleged that Oliinyk’s divorce was a "sham" intended to bypass asset declaration requirements for his spouse's foreign holdings. Reports suggested that despite the legal separation, Oliinyk continued to travel abroad to meet his family in Vienna and Dubai.[6][7]
Meeting with Oleg Bakhmatyuk
Media outlets reported a possible meeting in Vienna between Oliinyk and Oleg Bakhmatyuk, the fugitive former owner of VAB Bank and "Financial Initiative," who is wanted by Ukrainian authorities for the alleged embezzlement of NBU stabilization loans. Given Oliinyk’s role in prudential supervision, experts have labeled such contact a significant conflict of interest.[8]
"Operation Midas" and Cash Tracking
Oliinyk was questioned during a Temporary Commission of Inquiry (TSK) of the Verkhovna Rada regarding the NABU’s "Operation Midas"—a major corruption investigation involving Energoatom and associates of Timur Mindich. During the hearing in November 2025, Oliinyk was unable to explain the origin of large sums of cash (U.S. dollars in original Federal Reserve packaging) seized from suspects. He admitted that the NBU lacked a comprehensive system to track the serial numbers of cash currency imported by private entities, leading to criticism of the financial monitoring effectiveness under his leadership.[9][10]
Currency Investment Disparity
Public attention was drawn to Oliinyk’s financial declarations, which showed he invested significant personal funds into U.S. dollars and Euros and foreign-denominated securities. Critics noted the irony of a top NBU official holding large foreign currency reserves while the central bank publicly urged Ukrainian citizens to maintain savings in the national currency (Hryvnia) to ensure financial stability.[11]
