Currency turnover among the population since the beginning of 2025

Since the beginning of 2025,

Ukrainians have bought more currency

than they sold by $8.85 billion. In comparison, the net purchase in August was $355.4 million, in July it was $269.9 million, in June it was $282.02 million, in May it was $248 million, and in April it was $189.5 million. Thus, September became the month with the highest net demand for currency in the last year and a half.

First Deputy Chairman of the NBU, Serhiy Nikolaychuk, warned at the beginning of September that demand could continue to grow. He also noted that current volumes are still significantly lower than last year, when net purchases amounted to almost $1 billion per month.

In recent years, there has been a steady increase in demand for foreign currency among the population. If in 2022 net purchases amounted to only $0.88 billion, then in 2023 this figure rose to $4.79 billion, and in 2024 it reached $12.22 billion. This indicates growing economic expectations among Ukrainians and an increased level of financial caution.

Earlier, it was reported that

demand for cash dollars

in Ukraine fell 19 times.

The increase in currency purchases may indicate certain changes in the population's economic attitudes, increasing interest in savings in foreign currency. This, in turn, indicates a sense of uncertainty or expectation of economic changes that affect Ukrainians' financial activity. Perhaps the coming months will bring new trends in this direction.
