Finance Ministry places loan bonds for UAH 21.5 billion

On November 5, the Ministry of Finance placed domestic government loan bonds for UAH 21.461 billion.

This is stated in the notification of the Ministry of Finance, the Ukrainian News agency reports.

Securities with a maturity of 1.5 years were placed for UAH 5,014 million at 15.20% per annum, 2 years - for UAH 5,153 at 13.95% per annum, 2.4 years - for UAH 5,060 million at 16.20% per annum, 3 years – for UAH 5,257 million at 15.02% per annum, 3.3 years – for UAH 977 million at 16.8% per annum.

On November 8, 2022, the Ministry of Finance issued war bonds for UAH 43.7 million, which is the smallest amount since the beginning of the war.

Before this, the smallest amount was involved on October 4, 2022 - UAH 44.5 million.

As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, the Ministry of Finance previously announced that war bonds are primarily a tool for supporting the state budget during a full-scale invasion of the russian federation, and not a tool for maximizing income from investment activities, therefore war bond rates remain fixed.

The Ministry of Finance fulfilled the plan for borrowing to the state budget by 67.3% and attracted UAH 1,261.1 billion in 2022.

Actual state borrowings to the general fund of the state budget for 2023 amounted to UAH 1.68 trillion, or 73.7% of the planned for this period.
