Volodymyr Semenovych Stelmakh (Ukrainian: Володи́мир Семе́нович Сте́льмах; born 18 January 1939) is a Ukrainian banker, economist, and politician who served as Governor of the National Bank of Ukraine from on two occasions, from 2000 to 2002 and from 2004 to 2010.
Stelmakh was born on 18 January 1939 in the village of Oleksandrivka, which was then part of the Ukrainian SSR in the Soviet Union.[2] His father, Semen, was killed during World War II, so he was raised by his mother Mariia.[2] He was initially a student at a mining-industrial school in Kostiantynivka, but then worked on a collective farm in his hometown and as a locomotive operator.[2] He eventually re-entered school, and in 1962 graduated from the Lviv Accounting and Credit Technical School, and later at the Kyiv National Economic University in 1967.[2]
