In an interview with the Minfin YouTube channel, the Chairman of the Ukraine National Commission on Securities and Stock Market, Ruslan Magomedov, set out practical guidance for investing safely under wartime and economic instability and pointed retail investors to the Commission’s official “Contribution” information platform. He stressed that investors should start with knowledge and use verified sources, then assess their investment horizon and risk tolerance. For maximum stability, he highlighted conservative instruments such as domestic government bonds (OVDPs) and bank deposits, noting that OVDPs can be denominated in Ukrainian hryvnia as well as USD and EUR, which may help investors holding foreign-currency savings manage devaluation risk. Investment decisions, he argued, should be based on analysis of bank rates and conditions in the primary and secondary markets for government bonds. The Commission also pointed to ongoing work on an “investment accounts” mechanism that would allow individuals to open accounts through licensed investment firms. Draft Law No. 8111 has been registered in the Verkhovna Rada and would require parliamentary support for full implementation.
