Oleg Pendzin advised Ukrainians not to rush to buy currency: government bonds are more profitable now

Economist Oleg Pendzin believes that Ukrainians should not rush to transfer their savings to dollars or euros yet due to fears of hryvnia devaluation.

According to him, thanks to guaranteed international financing for the next two years, the situation on the foreign exchange market remains predictable.

“I would not be nervous at all until the fall of 2027. 90 billion euros clearly provide Ukraine with a financial resource to maintain the hryvnia,” Pendzin explained.

The expert also drew attention to the fact that today a more profitable alternative to foreign exchange savings are domestic government bonds.

“Government bonds currently provide a higher income than any currency, and at the same time are exempt from taxes. This is a more understandable and stable instrument today,” he noted.

At the same time, the economist emphasized that after 2027 the situation may change depending on further international assistance, and it is then that it will be worth reviewing the financial strategy.
