Ukraine's state-owned PrivatBank plans to auction several of the country's largest real estate assets by the end of 2026, including a major football stadium, a shopping centre and part of a leading ski resort, as it continues efforts to dispose of property acquired through the recovery of non-performing loans, reported Ukraine Business News.

The bank said the assets are among the largest it received as part of the settlement of problem loans before its nationalisation and are now being prepared for public sale.

The portfolio includes the Dnipro-Arena football stadium, together with its associated training base, making it one of the most prominent sports facilities expected to come onto the Ukrainian market in recent years.

Also scheduled for auction is the Priozerny shopping centre in the city of Dnipro, which has a total area of more than 32,000 square metres.

PrivatBank also intends to offer part of the Bukovel mountain resort property, including assets associated with Radisson hotel complexes, expanding the range of commercial real estate available to potential investors.

The planned sales form part of the bank's strategy to monetise assets obtained through the restructuring and recovery of distressed debt accumulated before PrivatBank was nationalised in 2016.

Ukraine's banking sector has spent recent years reducing the stock of non-performing loans inherited from previous lending cycles, with state-owned banks playing a central role in the process. Disposing of recovered collateral through transparent public auctions has become one of the key mechanisms for returning such assets to productive private ownership.

The auctions could attract interest from both domestic and foreign investors seeking opportunities in Ukraine's commercial property market, although investment decisions continue to be influenced by the country's wartime security environment.

PrivatBank, Ukraine's largest lender by assets, remains fully state-owned and has continued to report strong financial results during the war, while gradually reducing its stock of distressed assets inherited from the period before nationalisation.
