     Parliament Backs 50% Tax on 2027 Profits Despite Pushback

     Parliament approved in the first reading a bill that raises the corporate income tax on bank profits from 25% to 50% for 2027, with 265 lawmakers voting in favor despite objections from the central bank and others. The NBU warned that the extra tax will curb lending, while economists see it as an easier route than stalled reforms.
