Ukrainian bonds help defend the country in time of war

During the war, domestic government bonds became a reliable pillar of support for our country’s financial system. Ukrainian citizens, businesses, and banks united around domestic government bonds, making this financial instrument the second largest source of state budget financing after international aid.

The Ministry of Finance of Ukraine reported that since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, Ukrainians have purchased government bonds worth more than UAH 1 trillion*. The Ministry also calculated that this is more than 200 days of funding for the defense and protection of Ukraine.

Currently, there are more than UAH 1.6 trillion worth of domestic government bonds in circulation, of which the share of commercial banks is 42.2%, the National Bank – 41.5%, legal entities – 10%, individuals – 3.8%, non-residents – 2.4%, and territorial communities – 0.1%.

NSSMC has previously created the Contribution project, which collects all the necessary information about investing in war bonds and outlines the benefits of this support tool for both the state and investors. For those wishing to make a contribution, a simple instruction is posted and the project partners (banks and brokers) are listed as intermediaries for the purchase of government bonds.

The project is being implemented in close partnership between the state and business, where each party strengthens the capabilities of the other. For more details, please follow the link.
