Currency Preferences for Savings: Ukrainians Choose Hryvnia

As of September 1, 2026, the total amount of deposits by individuals in Ukrainian banks reached 1.76 trillion UAH, which is 9.6 billion UAH more than in August. This indicates a growing trust in the banking system and a preference for currency for savings.

Hryvnia — the Leader Among Currencies

According to the data, the largest share of deposits is in hryvnias. The amount of deposits in this currency is 1.157 trillion UAH, confirming that Ukrainians choose their national currency for saving their money. This may be related to several factors, including the stability of the hryvnia and its accessibility for the population.

Trends in Savings

In addition to hryvnias, Ukrainians also save their money in other currencies, but their share is significantly smaller. The growth of deposits in hryvnias may indicate an economic recovery and improvement in the financial situation in the country. Among other currencies used for savings, the following can be highlighted:

  • US Dollars
  • Euros

However, their share in the total amount of deposits remains less than that of hryvnias. This may suggest that Ukrainians have more confidence in their national currency under current economic conditions.
