The volume of investments by legal entities and individuals in OVDPs increased by 28% year-on-year (August 1, 2025 vs. August 1, 2024). As of August 1, Ukrainian citizens owned OVDPs worth over UAH 92.8 billion, and legal entities — over UAH 181.4 billion.

Since the beginning of 2025, the issuance of OVDPs has already brought around UAH 312 billion to the State Budget. OVDPs are the second-largest source of financing for Ukraine’s State Budget.
