The National Bank set a record for the purchase of military bonds of domestic government loans of Ukraine. This was reported in the press service of the institution.

"We have a record increase in deposits among citizens and businesses for the entire duration of the auctions: during the week their number increased from 11.8 thousand to 43.3 thousand," the NBU said.

The institution says that such growth is due to the introduction of new digital services by capital market participants in coordination with the National Bank's depository, exchanges and central counterparty.

According to the NBU, since the beginning of the full-scale attack of the russian federation, the Ministry of Finance has held 27 auctions for the sale of military bonds. The state budget managed to attract more than 55.2bn hryvnias, about 144.1m dollars and 176.5m euros.

"Currently, the volume of investments of Ukrainian citizens and businesses in military bonds exceeds UAH 4.6bn, USD 45.7m and EUR 25.6m, and non-residents - UAH 66.7m," the National Bank said.

On May 3 the Ministry of Finance placed military bonds for 7.1 bn hryvnias.

In March, the head of the President's Office, Andriy Yermak, held an online conference with representatives of the world's leading investment companies and called on businesses to buy Ukrainian military bonds.
