Ukraine’s international reserves in August 2025 increased by 7% and, as of September 1, amounted to 46.03 billion US dollars.
This was reported by the National Bank of Ukraine.
“As of September 1, 2025, Ukraine’s international reserves, according to preliminary data, amounted to 46,032.7 million US dollars. In August, they grew by 7.0%. This dynamic was driven, on the one hand, by significant inflows from international partners, and on the other hand, by a decrease in the net sale of foreign currency by the National Bank on the foreign exchange market,” the statement says.
According to the NBU, $6,165.1 million were received in August into the government’s foreign currency accounts at the National Bank, including:
- $4,710.8 million from the EU under the Ukraine Facility and ERA instruments;
- $1,059.7 million through World Bank accounts;
- $394.6 million from the placement of government bonds (OVDPs).
Payments for servicing and repaying public debt in foreign currency amounted to $619.8 million. In addition, Ukraine paid $426.9 million to the International Monetary Fund.
According to balance sheet data, the National Bank sold $2,696.6 million on the foreign exchange market and purchased $0.6 million into reserves. Thus, the NBU’s net sale of foreign currency in August amounted to $2,696.0 million, down 22% compared to July 2025.
The regulator also noted that due to revaluation, the value of financial instruments increased by $576.5 million in August.
The current volume of international reserves covers the financing of five months of future imports.
