As of November 1, 2025, Ukraine's international reserves, according to preliminary data, amounted to USD 49,516.3 million, which is the highest figure in the entire history of independent Ukraine.
This is stated in the NBU report, Ukrainian News Agency reports.
In October, international reserves increased by 6.4%.
Such dynamics are due to significant volumes of receipts from international partners, which exceeded the net sale of currency by the National Bank and the country's debt payments in foreign currency.
The volume of international reserves is sufficient to maintain the stability of the foreign exchange market.
In general, the dynamics of reserves was determined by a number of factors.
First, receipts in favor of the government and payments for servicing and repaying the state debt.
In October, the government's foreign exchange accounts at the National Bank received USD 6,398.4 million, including:
- USD 4,694.0 million from the European Union within the framework of the G7 Extraordinary Revenue Acceleration for Ukraine (ERA) initiative;
- USD 1,079.4 million through the World Bank accounts;
- USD 507.7 million from the placement of government bonds;
- USD 117.3 million from the Council of Europe Development Bank.
- USD 611.6 million was paid for servicing and repaying the state debt in foreign currency, including:
- USD 368.9 million for servicing and repaying government bonds;
- USD 199.5 million for servicing and repaying debt to the World Bank;
- USD 16.1 million for servicing and repaying debt to the European Investment Bank;
- USD 14.7 million – debt service and repayment to the EBRD;
- USD 12.3 million – debt service to the EU;
- USD 0.1 million – payment to other creditors.
In addition, Ukraine paid USD 83.9 million to the International Monetary Fund.
Secondly, the operations of the National Bank on the foreign exchange market of Ukraine.
According to the balance sheet data, the National Bank sold USD 2,834.9 million on the foreign exchange market and bought USD 0.8 million to reserves.
Thus, the net sale of foreign exchange by the NBU in October amounted to USD 2,834.1 million.
Thirdly, the revaluation of financial instruments (due to changes in market value and exchange rates).
In October, due to revaluation, the value of financial instruments increased by USD 126.8 million.
The current volume of international reserves provides financing for 5.1 months of future imports.
As Ukrainian News Agency earlier reported, in 2024, international reserves grew by 8% to USD 43.8 billion.
In 2023, Ukraine's international reserves grew by 42% to USD 40.5 billion.
