Due to the reduction of foreign exchange interventions and unprecedented international assistance, the National Bank has increased reserves.
This is indicated by the data from the NBU site.
In March 2025, Ukraine’s international reserves increased by 5.8% (by $ 2.235 billion) to $ 42.380 billion.
As noted in the NBU, such dynamics are due, on the one hand, by the significant amount of revenues from international partners, and on the other, a decrease in the volume of net sales of the NBU currency in the foreign exchange market.
The NBU’s foreign currency accounts received $ 5.980 billion. From this amount:
- $ 5.172 billion from international partners, including G7 Extraordinary Revenue Acceleration for Ukraine (ERA);
- $ 410 million – from the placement of foreign exchange bonds;
- $ 399 million – from the International Monetary Fund within the Extended Funding Facility Mechanism (EFF).
In addition, Ukraine received a loan of $ 970 million in accordance with the Agreement between Ukraine and the United Kingdom within the ERA. These funds were not credited to Ukraine’s international reserves due to their limited (intended) purpose for use.
$ 787 million was paid for servicing and repayment of public debt in foreign currency. In addition, Ukraine has paid $ 729.2 million to the International Monetary Fund.
In March, compared to February 2025, the net sale of currency by the National Bank decreased by 12.5%. The NBU sold $ 2.644 billion in the foreign exchange market.
In addition, in March, due to revaluation, the cost of financial instruments increased by $ 410 million.
We will remind that for 2024 Ukrainians issued 8.3 million microcredites totaling almost UAH 52 billion.
The National Bank has canceled the Money4YOU financial company (Manifa LLC), which issues microcredit. In addition, she has to pay a fine in the amount of UAH 4.28 million.
We have already reported that the National Bank approved the decision not to continue restrictions of 150 000 UAH per month for the output transfers of individuals from the card to the card. These restrictions are no longer relevant due to other solutions.
