Abstract:
The aim of the article is to deepen and further develop the scientific foundations of transformation of management by financial public corporations in the context of post-war reconstruction of the economy of Ukraine in order to improve the efficiency of the State-controlled corporate governance. The article defines the essence, composition and meaning of financial public corporations in ensuring the post-war reconstruction of the economy of Ukraine; the functions of management of financial public corporations are disclosed; the best practice of localization of global mechanisms for the transformation of the State-owned banks is systematized; the directions of institutional changes of the role of the State in public finance for the post-war reconstruction through a combination of global and local approaches to attracting both the public and the foreign banking capital to Ukraine are substantiated. An assessment of indicators of the level of corruption and the shadow economy in Ukraine was carried out in order to identify tendencies in the changes of their dynamics for the period of 2009–2022. It is emphasized that in the current conditions the positive dynamics of these indicators can accelerate owing to changes in the corporate governance of the system of financial public corporations, primarily concerning the State-owned banks. Based on the analysis of the distribution of domestic government bonds by owners, it is proved that the monetization of the budget deficit forces the government to refinance the public debt, thereby shifting the debt burden to future generations, thus indicating the lack of stability of public finances. At the same time, the government’s active use of external sources of borrowing distorts the structure of public debt, as a result of which currency risks raise and the sensitivity of Ukraine’s economy to external shocks increases. Proposals on the need to adopt a law on corporate governance of the State-owned companies at the level of financial public corporations is substantiated, in accordance with the recommendations on the part of the OECD, in order to ensure transparent and impartial nomination, selection and reappointment of highly qualified professionals for the positions of members of the supervisory boards of such companies and introduce a procedure for the annual evaluation of supervisory boards. Prospect for further research in this direction is to find ways to improve the efficiency of management of financial public corporations, reduce the existing excessive concentration of public banking capital, including in the government borrowing market, in order to achieve a synergistic effect at the stage of post-war reconstruction of Ukraine’s economy.

Keywords: financial public corporations, State-controlled corporate governance, public finance, State-owned banks, government and municipal borrowings, institutional trap, transformation of the banking sector, concentration of bank capital, State-owned banking grou
