Since the start of 2024, individuals and legal entities have increased their portfolio of government bonds by over 45 billion UAH.

Since the beginning of 2024, Ukrainian citizens and businesses have increased their investments in government bonds (OVDP) by UAH 45.5 billion. As of November 1, the portfolio of individuals has risen by UAH 17.3 billion, reaching UAH 70.5 billion, while the portfolio of legal entities has grown by UAH 28.2 billion, totaling UAH 167.1 billion.

This information is mentioned in a statement from the Ministry of Finance.

At the same time, local communities have reduced their investments in OVDP by 2.5 times, dropping from UAH 2 billion to UAH 0.8 billion. Non-residents have also decreased their investments: their portfolio has shrunk by UAH 20.3 billion, reaching UAH 23.3 billion, and their share in the OVDP structure has fallen to 1.3%.

Overall, as of early November, OVDP worth UAH 1.76 trillion are in circulation. Domestic revenues and OVDP remain crucial sources of funding for the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Investments in military OVDP are becoming increasingly attractive due to accessible digital solutions for purchasing, high liquidity, market yields that exceed inflation expectations, a 100% state guarantee for the return of funds, and the absence of income tax on OVDP.

Background. Earlier, Mind reported that the Ministry of Finance raised over UAH 26.47 billion from the placement of OVDP.
