On December 26, the Ministry of Finance placed war bonds for UAH 12.9 billion and USD 207 million.

This follows from a statement by the Ministry of Finance, the Ukrainian News agency reports.

The ministry placed securities with a maturity of 6 months for UAH 6,380 million at 16.5% per annum, seven months for UAH 3,973 million at 16.49% per annum, one year for 741 UAH million at 16.84% per annum, 1.8 years – for UAH 124 million at 17.60% per annum and 3.2 years – for UAH 1,697 million at 18.60% per annum.

The securities denominated in dollars have a maturity of 1 year and a yield of 4.66% 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 RF and not a tool for maximizing income from investment activities; therefore, rates on military domestic government loan bonds 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.
