Ukraine postpones internal bond repayments to 2029
In September, Ukraine's Ministry of Finance announced it would shift part of the repayment schedule for internal sovereign debt bonds to a later date. The postponed payments, originally due in October 2026, are now scheduled for February 2029, according to MP Danilo Hetmanets. The move is intended to ease near‑term debt servicing pressure while the obligations remain outstanding. At the end of September, the combined state and guaranteed debt was reported at a multi‑trillion‑hryvnia level, having risen since the start of the year but slightly decreasing in September. Hetmanets warned that the deferred payments do not disappear and urged using the extra time to support economic recovery and avoid overburdening the budget.
