Is there a currency shortage in Ukraine?
The National Bank of Ukraine has published the results of operations to provide banks with cash foreign currency that took place on March 18, 2026.
Results of operations on March 18:
- Announced volume: 100 million dollars and 30 million euros.
- Number of participants: 2 banks.
- Actual volume of bids: 50 million dollars and 30 million euros.
From March 9 to March 18, the supply of currency from the NBU significantly exceeded the demand from banks. This confirms that there is no cash currency shortage in the country. The NBU is ready to continue supporting banks with cash depending on the needs of the system.
Why does the NBU conduct these operations?
The decision to reinforce cash reserves was made on March 6, 2026, as a preventive measure. This helped maintain the currency liquidity of banks amid the illegal seizure of cash-in-transit vehicles of “Oschadbank” in Hungary, which required banks to take time to change their logistics routes.
Important: these NBU operations do not affect the volume of Ukraine’s international reserves.
