On December 5, the Ministry of Finance placed war bonds worth UAH 8.5 billion and USD 96 million.

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

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

In the first nine months of 2023, the Ministry of Finance fulfilled the plan for borrowing from the state budget by 89% and attracted UAH 1,219.4 billion.
