The new head of the State Property Fund, Dmytro Natalukha, began an audit of the institution’s work after his appointment in January. He says he got a structure with empty departments and no full-fledged team. Now the Fund is checking internal processes and looking for new managers, the media write.
According to Natalukha, he received a structure that actually worked for a long time without a full-fledged leadership. Due to this, some key areas were left without responsible people. “I took over a structure in which there was no leadership for more than a year and a half. For example, the department of accounting reporting simply does not exist: there is no director of the department, all positions are vacant. The audit history is the same…”, he said.
He explained that in such conditions it was impossible to fully understand how the Fund works, what assets it manages and what the real state of affairs is inside the institution. That is why the first step was to conduct a full audit. “It was critically important to conduct an audit of what is happening, what we dispose of, what we have,” noted Natalukha.
In parallel with the inspection, personnel changes began. After the appointment of a new chairman, several deputies left their positions. In particular, Ivanna Smachilo and Ihor Tymoshenko, who worked at the Foundation after the appointment of Vitaly Koval as its head in November 2023, resigned. Later, Koval headed the Ministry of Agrarian Policy.
At the end of January, the deputy chairman for digital development, Denys Shugalii, also resigned. He transferred to a similar position at the Ministry of Energy. As a result, there are now only two deputies left in the management of the Fund. These are Natalia Panova, who has been working in this position since May 2024, and Andrii Shramko, appointed in January 2025. Both already had work experience in the Fund system.
Natalukha says that now the team is much smaller than it was before, and it needs to be rebuilt. “That’s why we are looking for people, of course. When I arrived, there were five appointed deputies out of six… Two deputies remained. That’s why we’re moving: not as fast as we’d like, but on the other hand, it gives me an opportunity to reset the team and everything else,” he said.
According to him, the current situation gives a chance not just to close vacancies, but to build a new team and change approaches to the work of the Foundation. It is about creating a structure that will be able to effectively manage state property, carry out privatization and control state assets.
The State Property Fund is responsible for the management of state enterprises, privatization and leasing of assets. Therefore, its stable work and transparent structure are important for the country’s economy.
It is expected that after the completion of the audit, it will become clear in what state the Fund is in and exactly what changes need to be made in its work. One of the key tasks of the new management is to form a full-fledged team and restore the work of all departments.
