Since the Beginning of the Year, the Government Has Raised ₴158 Billion Through Domestic Government Bonds

According to a report from the press service of the National Bank of Ukraine, which was published referencing data from the NBU depository, the government of Ukraine continues to actively attract funds through domestic government bonds (OVDP). Since the beginning of 2026, the total amount raised through these financial instruments has reached ₴158 billion. This fact confirms the increasing interest of investors in OVDP, reflecting stability and trust in the Ukrainian economy in the face of the challenges the country is facing.

In March 2026, at auctions, the maximum yield of OVDP reached 16.20% per annum in hryvnias and 3.47% in US dollars. It is important to note that euro-denominated bonds were not placed in March this year. This indicates that investors are currently more interested in hryvnia and dollar instruments, which may be linked to fluctuations in exchange rates and the economic situation in Ukraine.

Overall, since the beginning of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine until March 31, 2026, the Ukrainian government has raised an impressive ₴1.6 trillion, $11 billion, and €3.3 billion at primary auctions. These figures indicate that despite the challenging economic conditions, the Ukrainian authorities have managed to find support among investors who are willing to invest in government securities.

As of April 1, 2026, the total portfolio of OVDP owned by legal entities amounted to ₴1.2 trillion in equivalent. The ownership of these bonds by individuals was ₴131.6 billion in equivalent, while the ownership by non-residents stood at ₴15.7 billion in equivalent. These data highlight that OVDP are popular not only among large investors but also among ordinary citizens, who are actively investing their savings in these financial instruments.

As previously reported, Ukrainians are massively purchasing OVDP, with their investment volume reaching a historic high. This indicates a growing financial literacy among the population and a desire to invest in safe assets amid instability. Such a phenomenon could become an important factor in stabilizing the economy and developing the financial market in Ukraine.
