Nearly 150 billion hryvnias: The National Bank will transfer a record amount of profit to the state budget
27 April 16:05
The Board of the National Bank of Ukraine has approved the consolidated financial statements for 2025 and will transfer 146.1 billion hryvnias to the state budget.
This was announced by Danylo Getmantsev, chairman of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Finance, Tax and Customs Policy, according to "Komersant Ukrainian".
“In accordance with the decisions adopted, the NBU will transfer to Ukraine’s state budget a portion of its undistributed profit for 2025 in a record amount—146.1 billion hryvnias. This is nearly twice as much as last year,” the deputy wrote on Telegram.
He noted that in 2025, the regulator transferred a portion of its undistributed profit for 2024—amounting to 84.2 billion hryvnia—to the budget.
According to Getmantsev, the NBU Council’s decision effectively confirmed the plan that was approved in the 2026 budget.
The Law “On the State Budget for 2026” stipulates that this year the regulator must transfer to the budget a portion of undistributed profits amounting to at least 146 billion hryvnias.
“These funds will be used to finance the needs of the army and defense, which is an absolute priority,” the chairman of the parliamentary committee assured.

NBU Financial Report
Andriy Pyshnyy, head of the institution , also reported on the NBU’s financial results for the year . He provided a detailed breakdown of the financial report.
“I’ll briefly summarize the figures as of December 31, 2025: assets: 3,300.6 billion UAH (in 2024 – 2,700 billion UAH). The main changes are due to an increase of over 30% in international reserves—to $57.3 billion; liabilities: 2,721 billion UAH; financial result: 153 billion UAH; profit available for distribution: 155 billion UAH,” wrote the NBU Governor.
Pyshnyy also noted that, in accordance with the law, the National Bank allocates these funds in two ways:
1) a portion—to the National Bank’s general reserves, which must be at a level of 10% of the average annual volume of monetary and credit liabilities. This year, we will allocate 8.9 billion UAH;
2) the remainder (UAH 146.1 billion) will be transferred to the State Budget of Ukraine.
According to him, the specific timing will be coordinated separately with the Ministry of Finance of Ukraine.
“So, despite the fact that profit is not the goal of any central bank, in the context of a full-scale war, the NBU will make a significant contribution this year to supporting the country’s defense capabilities and resilience,” noted the NBU Governor.
He added that the financial statements have been fully published on the NBU’s website. The document has been verified by an external auditing firm.
In addition, he reported that in previous years, the NBU had already transferred the following amounts to the budget: in 2022 – 19 billion UAH; in 2023 – 71.87 billion UAH; in 2024 – 38.64 billion UAH; and in 2025 – 84.2 billion UAH.
