Ukrainians are increasing their government bond investments.

In 2022, the population’s share of the OVDP portfolio increased by ₴5.1B, and in 2023, it increased by ₴20.9B to ₴51.2B. The simplification of purchasing OVDP bonds facilitated this trend. Until recently, the tool was available primarily to VIP clients of banks or clients of investment companies until it began to penetrate banks’ mobile applications, online banking, and the Diia App.

“From January 1 to September 15, the portfolio of government bonds, particularly military bonds, owned by individuals at Sense Bank almost doubled to ₴4.3B in equivalent. During this period, the bank sold ₴7.2B in government bonds. Through the Sense application, 94% of sales went through SuperApp and managers, 6% through Diia,” said board member of Sens Bank Inna Tyutyun.

“Ukrgasbank also gained experience in cooperation with Diia. “From January 1 to September 15, individuals purchased ₴4B in OVDP, of which more than ₴150M came through the Diia application,” said the bank’s top manager, Oleg Kyrychenko.
