Government bonds as an economic weapon against the enemy: almost 8 billion UAH allocated by ARMA to the Ukrainian Defense Forces

10-03-2025

Today, Ukraine celebrates the 30th anniversary of the first issue of domestic government bonds (OVDPs). Since 1995, this financial instrument has become a key instrument for ensuring the economic stability of the state, attracting resources for the budget and supporting strategic development areas. In wartime, domestic government bonds became especially important. It is thanks to military bonds that the state receives critical funds to ensure defense and support the economy.

ARMA, in fulfilling its mission of managing seized assets, is actively involved in this process as it is the only government agency authorized to purchase government bonds. This allows for the efficient use of seized assets, turning them into a resource to support our Defense Forces during the war. Thus, currently, out of the total amount of funds managed by ARMA, which is more than 11 billion UAH, the portfolio of military bonds amounts to almost 8 billion UAH in hryvnia equivalent, including 31.0 million USD and 6.5 million EUR.

Through this approach, ARMA not only ensures the safety of seized funds, but also contributes to the financing of state needs.

For 30 years, domestic government bonds have remained an important mechanism for economic development and, in times of war, an integral part of the country's financial defense. The ARMA will continue to strengthen this process by turning seized assets into a financial resource for Ukraine.
