- total demand – one bid for USD 30 million and one bid for EUR 20 million
- the bids were fully satisfied.
Overall, during 9–13 March 2026, the volume of foreign currency offered within these transactions significantly exceeded the actual demand from banks. This confirms there is no shortage of foreign-exchange cash.
The NBU stands ready to continue supporting banks in supplying them with foreign currency cash. The frequency and size of such transactions will depend on the banking system’s demand.
The decision to conduct these measures to supply banks with FX cash was adopted by the NBU on 6 March as a preventive step to support, if necessary, banks’ FX cash liquidity following the illegal seizure of Oschadbank cash-in-transit vehicles in Hungary. These transactions by the NBU do not affect the level of Ukraine’s international reserves.
