The National Bank of Ukraine published the results of its foreign-exchange cash resupply transaction for banks, reporting that all bids were fully satisfied and that declared supply in 9–25 March operations materially exceeded actual bank demand, pointing to the absence of an FX cash shortage. In the 25 March 2026 transaction, the declared volume was USD 50 million and EUR 10 million, with one participating bank and total demand of USD 40 million; bids were fully satisfied. The resupply measures were adopted on 6 March as a preventive step following the illegal seizure of Oschadbank’s cash-in-transit vehicles in Hungary and to allow time for banks to reroute their supply chains; the National Bank of Ukraine noted these transactions do not affect Ukraine’s international reserves. The central bank remains ready to continue providing banks with as much FX cash as needed, with the frequency and size of future transactions dependent on banking system demand.
