The amount of cash in circulation in Ukraine in 2024 increased by 7.6% (UAH 58 billion), reaching UAH 822.4 billion. The 500 hryvnia banknote is the most in circulation, while the 5, 10 and 200 hryvnia notes are almost out of circulation.. This was reported by the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU). These data indicate that, despite a full-scale war and difficult economic conditions, Ukrainians and businesses gradually adapted to new realities, maintaining a moderate growth rate of cash in circulation. As of the beginning of 2025, the following are in circulation:.

For each resident of Ukraine there are 63 banknotes and 186 coins. For comparison, at the beginning of 2024. these figures were 66 banknotes and 177 coins. The largest share of banknotes in circulation are:.

The least in circulation are:.

Over the past year, the number of coins in denominations of 5 and 10 hryvnia has increased significantly - by 27% and 33%, respectively.. This increase is associated with the policy of the NBU, which is gradually withdrawing banknotes of low denominations (1, 2, 5 and 10 hryvnia) from circulation and replacing them with corresponding coins.

This decision is due to the fact that coins have a much longer circulation period than paper banknotes.. At the same time, there is a significant reduction in the number of banknotes of the following denominations:.

A decrease in the number of coins with a nominal value of 25 kopecks by 0.1% was also recorded.. This is due to the fact that such coins are no longer means of payment, and the NBU is gradually withdrawing them from circulation.

According to the NBU, in 2024 there remained high demand for 1000 hryvnia banknotes. Experts explain this by the consequences of the war: due to uncertainty and economic risks, citizens prefer higher denominations for storing savings.
