Ukraine's International Reserves as of July 1, 2026
As of July 1, 2026, Ukraine's international reserves stood at $51.3 billion, reflecting a 12.1% increase in June. This growth was driven by foreign currency inflows from partner nations, which exceeded the National Bank of Ukraine's (NBU) net currency sales and debt repayments.
Sources of Inflows in June 2026
In June 2026, $11,316.3 million in foreign currency was deposited into government accounts at the National Bank. A significant portion of these inflows came from the European Union, totaling $6,821.1 million. Additionally, $4,495.2 million arrived via World Bank accounts. Notably, Ukraine received $4.4 billion from the EU as part of the first defense tranche under the Ukraine Support Loan program, but these funds were not included in international reserves due to their designated purpose.
At the same time, June saw foreign currency debt payments. Specifically, $269.7 million was allocated for servicing and repaying state debt, while $171.5 million went to the International Monetary Fund. The NBU sold $5,147.0 million on the foreign exchange market in June. The current level of international reserves covers 5.2 months of future imports.
The rise in Ukraine's international reserves signals positive developments in the country's external financing. Funds from international partners, particularly the EU and the World Bank, play a crucial role in stabilizing the economy, especially amid debt obligations. Moreover, a high level of reserves can act as a safeguard for the country during periods of global economic uncertainty.
