According to the NBU Depository, in January–August 2025, the government of Ukraine raised UAH 277,038.4 million, USD 1,258.4 million, and EUR 562.7 million by offering domestic government debt securities at auctions, and allocated UAH 221,853.7 million, USD 1,633.2 million, and EUR 665.7 million towards redemption of domestic government debt securities.
In total, from the onset of russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine through 31 August 2025, the government raised UAH 1,329,021.0 million, USD 9,603.8 million, and EUR 3,030.8 million through primary auctions and allocated UAH 896,663.4 million, USD 10,245.5 million, and EUR 2,834.6 million to redeem domestic government debt securities.
In April, the maximum yield on domestic government debt securities offered at auctions was 17.80% per annum for hryvnia-denominated bonds and 4.25 per annum for U.S. dollar-denominated bonds. Euro-denominated bonds were not placed through auctions in August.
The efficient operation of the domestic debt market is an important prerequisite for ensuring macrofinancial stability and a safeguard against monetary financing of the budget deficit.
In February, the Ministry of Finance of Ukraine was given more flexibility to provide funding to improve the effectiveness of domestic public debt management: The NBU has ensured settlements for the new type of domestic government debt securities placement: through auctions to place domestic government debt securities with simultaneous exchange for outstanding domestic government debt securities of another issue.
