Ukraine's National Securities and Stock Market Commission published a joint progress update with the National Bank of Ukraine, the Ministry of Finance, the Deposit Guarantee Fund and the Ministry of Economy on implementation of Ukraine’s Financial Sector Development Strategy, showing that by end-2024 87% of the Strategy’s measures had been fully implemented or were being implemented on schedule. Against continued full-scale war and high uncertainty, regulators are preparing an updated Strategy after the Financial Stability Board approved an update on 13 May 2025. Four measures were reported as completed: expanding the range of government bonds, approving the National Revenue Strategy for 2024–2030, improving corporate governance in the financial sector, and strengthening issuers’ information disclosure. The best progress was recorded under Goal I “Macroeconomic Stability” (25%), followed by Goal II “Financial Stability” (7%); the update also highlights measures and milestones across 2023–2024 including approval of multiple supporting strategies (currency restrictions and exchange rate flexibility, public debt management for 2024–2026, lending, financial literacy to 2030), completion of a sustainability assessment including AQR work and baseline assessments of the 20 largest banks’ capital needs, legislative changes (including laws on credit unions and agrarian notes), admission of certain foreign securities to circulation in Ukraine, and a pilot project to register issuance of credit notes. Most measures have a long-term horizon and include legislative initiatives to be adopted by Parliament, with activities reported as proceeding to schedule. A detailed end-2024 implementation report has been published, and the updated Strategy is being prepared for approval and subsequent publication.
