Ukraine’s international reserves increased by 6.4% in October 2025, reaching 49.52 billion US dollars as of November 1, according to the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU).
“The reserves amounted to 49,516.3 million US dollars as of November 1, 2025, based on preliminary data. The growth in October was driven by substantial inflows from international partners, which exceeded the National Bank’s net foreign currency sales and the government’s foreign debt repayments,” the NBU reported.
In October, 6.4 billion US dollars were credited to the government’s foreign currency accounts with the NBU, including 4.69 billion from the EU under the G7 Extraordinary Revenue Acceleration for Ukraine (ERA) initiative, 1.08 billion through World Bank channels, 507.7 million from domestic government bond placements, and 117.3 million from the Council of Europe Development Bank.
Debt servicing and repayment in foreign currency totaled 611.6 million US dollars, while Ukraine also paid 83.9 million US dollars to the International Monetary Fund.
During the month, the NBU sold 2.83 billion US dollars on the foreign exchange market and purchased 0.8 million US dollars, bringing the net currency sales to 2.83 billion US dollars.
Additionally, the value of financial instruments increased by 126.8 million US dollars due to revaluation.
According to the regulator, the current level of reserves covers 5.1 months of future imports.
