Finance Ministry places new 4-year government bonds for first time this year at 14.56% per annum

On May 27, the Ministry of Finance placed new 4-year government bonds at 14.56% per annum.

This is indicated in a statement of the Ministry of Finance, the Ukrainian News agency reports.

In total, securities with a maturity of 1.3 years for UAH 5.2 billion at 16.35% per annum were placed, 1.9 years for UAH 205 million at 17.1% per annum, 3 years for UAH 1.6 billion at 17.8% per annum, and 4 years for UAH 10.1 billion at 14.56% per annum.

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

Prior to this, the smallest amount was raised on October 4, 2022 - UAH 44.5 million.

As the Ukrainian News agency earlier reported, the Ministry of Finance previously reported that war bonds are primarily a tool to support the state budget during a full-scale invasion by the russian federation, and not a tool to maximize income from investment activities, therefore rates on war government bonds remain fixed.
