NBU: Portfolio of domestic government bonds owned by non-residents grew in February

"The largest buyers of government bonds in the past month were non-residents, who increased their portfolio of domestic government bonds by UAH 6.5 billion (about USD 233 million), and now, with a share of 10%, they are the third largest group of investors in domestic government bonds (after banks and the National Bank, with shares of 51.4% and 31.5%, respectively),” Danylyshyn wrote on Facebook.

According to him, as a result of borrowings on the domestic market in February, the state budget was replenished with UAH 25.7 billion, USD 25.7 billion, and EUR 70.5 million.

In January-February 2021, the volume of government borrowings was only 68.6% of the planned target for this period, which restrained the expenditures on the general fund of the state budget, which were made in the amount of 90.7% of the planned target for the reporting period

As reported by Ukrinform, in 2020, the Ukrainian Finance Ministry raised UAH 382.3 billion towards the state budget as a result of auctions on the placement of domestic government bonds.
