The NBU will transfer a record 146.1 billion hryvnias in profits to the state budget — The building of the National Bank of Ukraine, which is set to transfer a record 146.1 billion hryvnias in profits to the state budget

The National Bank of Ukraine will transfer a record 146.1 billion hryvnias of its undistributed profit for 2025 to the state budget. This amount is almost double that of the previous year and will be used to fund the needs of the army and defence.

This was announced by Danylo Getmantsev, Chair of the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Finance, Tax and Customs Policy.

The Council of the National Bank of Ukraine has approved the NBU’s consolidated financial statements for 2025 and the profit available for distribution.

Under the decision, the National Bank will transfer UAH 146.1 billion of its undistributed profit for 2025 to the Ukrainian state budget.

“In accordance with the decisions taken, the NBU will transfer a portion of the undistributed profit for 2025 to the Ukrainian state budget in a record amount – 146.1 billion hryvnias. This is almost twice as much as last year,” Getmantsev wrote on Telegram.

He recalled that in 2025, the regulator transferred a portion of its undistributed profit for 2024, amounting to 84.2 billion hryvnias, to the budget.

According to Getmantsev, the NBU Council’s decision effectively confirmed the plan that had been laid out in the state budget for 2026.

The Law “On the State Budget for 2026” stipulates that this year the National Bank must transfer to the budget a portion of undistributed profits amounting to no less than 146 billion hryvnias.

The chair of the parliamentary committee assured that these funds would be used to finance the needs of the army and defence, which remain an absolute priority.

The NBU reported that, based on last year’s results, the National Bank’s undistributed profit amounted to 155 billion hryvnias.

In accordance with the Law “On the National Bank of Ukraine”, this sum is traditionally allocated in part to the NBU’s general reserves, with the bulk going to the state budget.

Earlier, the State Land Bank paid UAH 369 million in dividends to the state budget based on its 2025 results. This represents 95% of the state operator’s net profit.

Also, JSC “NAEK “Energoatom” paid UAH 40.2 billion to the Ukrainian budget in the form of taxes, mandatory payments and a single contribution to compulsory state social insurance.

As reported by ThePublic, the National Bank of Ukraine recommended that banks should not take a purely formal approach to serving politically exposed persons (PEPs), their relatives and associates. The regulator emphasised that banks should not automatically classify all such clients as high-risk and unjustifiably restrict their access to financial services.
