What are the benefits of hryvnia government bonds
As previously reported by RBC-Ukraine financial expert Taras Kozak, purchasing hryvnia government bonds is the best way to preserve and increase savings in Ukraine. Here’s why:
-
Yield on government bonds: With the current inflation rate of 8%, government bonds provide a 17% return. This means that the real purchasing power of the invested funds grows by 9-10% per year.
-
Losses from holding dollars: Due to a lack of information, citizens often invest in cash dollars. However, throughout 2025, the exchange rate remained unchanged (at 42 UAH/USD), causing currency savings to lose 8% of their value under inflationary pressure.
