  • legal entities increased their holdings by 28.2 billion hryvnias ($684.2 million) to 167.1 billion hryvnias ($4.1 billion).
As of the beginning of November, the total OVDP in circulation amounts to 1.76 trillion hryvnias ($42.7 billion).

"Domestic revenues and OVDP are two important instruments for financing the Armed Forces. Therefore, we encourage you to invest in military OVDP," the Ministry of Finance stated.

OVDPs are domestic government securities issued exclusively on the domestic capital market. They represent Ukraine's obligation to repay the nominal value of these bonds to their holders, along with interest payments according to the terms of the bond issuance.
