NBU Depository: Government Repayments to Redeem Domestic Debt Instruments Exceed Borrowings through Auctions to Sell Domestic Government Debt Securities by UAH 13.6 Billion

According to the NBU Depository, since russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine to 4 July 2022, the amount redeemed by the government on domestic debt instruments has exceeded the volumes raised to the state budget through auctions to sell domestic government debt securities by UAH 13.6 billion. 

Specifically, from 24 February to 4 July 2022, the Ukrainian Government spent UAH 90.3 billion, USD 920.8 million, and EUR 168 million to redeem domestic government debt securities. Instead, UAH 85.6 billion, USD 496.1 million, and EUR 283.4 million were raised to the state budget from placement of new debt instruments in the domestic market.

In March, the government raised UAH 10.6 billion more through auctions to sell domestic government debt securities than it spent for redemption of domestic debt instruments. However, in April, May, and June, the balance of the government’s domestic debt transactions was negative and made UAH (-2.9) billion, UAH (-0.4) billion, and UAH (-21) billion, respectively. 

Interest rates on domestic government debt securities issued through auctions under martial law have not changed, making

  • 9.5%, 10%, 11%, and 11.5% per annum in hryvnia (maturities of 3 months, 6 months, 12 months, and 14 months, respectively)
