The shareholders of Turboatom at a meeting on April 17 decided to send 50% of net profit for payment of dividends for 2018, in particular UAH 382.1 million, including UAH 287.5 million to the state (as the owner of more than 75%). The Cabinet of Ministers then increased the norm of dividend payment to 90%. The director of the enterprise, Viktor Subotin, and Kharkiv Regional Council opposed the decision, however, the Ministry of Finance repeatedly insisted on the payment of increased dividends.
