The Ministry of Finance raised UAH 1.3 billion through government bonds: demand for military bonds persists

The Ministry of Finance of Ukraine attracted over 1.3 billion hryvnias during the next auction for the placement of domestic government bonds (OVDP). Despite the difficult economic conditions, investor interest in government securities remains consistently high.

What bonds did investors buy

According to the Ministry of Finance, the greatest demand was concentrated in two segments:

1.3-year bonds with a yield of 15.15% per annum brought the budget almost 604 million hryvnias;

two-year OVDPs with a yield of 15.87% per annum attracted another 656 million hryvnias.

Thus, the total amount of funds received by the state as a result of the auction exceeded 1.3 billion hryvnias.

Billions for the budget and defense

Since the beginning of 2026, the state has already attracted over 124.6 billion hryvnias through the placement of OVDPs. At the same time, since the beginning of the full-scale war, this amount has exceeded 2.2 trillion UAH.

The Ministry of Finance emphasizes: funds from military bonds are directed primarily to financing the security and defense sector, in particular to supporting the Armed Forces of Ukraine, as well as to ensuring the financial stability of the state.

How the OVDP mechanism works

Auctions for the placement of bonds are held regularly – every Tuesday. The nominal value of one bond is:

1,000 UAH,

1,000 USD,

or 1,000 EUR.

OVDPs remain one of the key instruments for attracting funds to the state budget, as well as a way for citizens and businesses to support the country’s economy.

Stable demand for government bonds indicates investor confidence in Ukraine’s financial policy even in wartime. At the same time, OVDPs continue to play an important role in ensuring the state’s defense capability and macro-financial stability.
