Demand for domestic government bonds is growing: what statistics show

- hryvnia government bonds for 6 and 12 months,
- as well as dollar issues.
The bank notes that most investors immediately buy new securities after redemption, forming a “reinvestment cycle”.
In general, in 2025, Ukrainians continue to actively invest in government bonds. The increase in household investments in just over a year amounted to UAH 30.51 billion.
As of November 18, the total amount of domestic government bonds in the portfolio of individuals reached UAH 109.04 billion:
- uAH 60.68 billion in hryvnia securities (55.65%),
- uAH 48.36 billion in foreign currency securities (44.35%).
Thus, the structure is approaching a 50/50 split between hryvnia and foreign currency.
