As of August 31, 2021, Ukraine’s official reserve assets amounted to USD 31,614.1 million, while monetary gold (including gold deposits and gold in swaps) was only USD 1,542.9 million (4.88% of total reserves). The lion’s share of Ukraine’s international reserves are assets in convertible currencies (securities, currency and deposits), reported the Ukraine’s National Bank.

In August, Ukraine’s reserves increased by 9.2% due primarily to the receipt of funds in the amount of 1928.2 million special drawing rights (SDRs) within the total distribution from the IMF.

Danil Getmantsev, a member of the Ukrainian Parliament from the Servant of the People, chairman of the parliamentary committee on finance, tax and customs policy, published on his telegram channel that : “NBU’s gold and foreign exchange reserves as of September 1, 2021 amounted to 31.6 billion dollars, which is 8% more than a year earlier. […] our gold and foreign exchange reserves reached the level of April 2012.”
