As UNIAN reported earlier, the Finance Ministry borrowed UAH 166.6 billion ($6.6 billion), $3.2 billion, and EUR 189 million for the national budget at weekly bond placement auctions in January-July 2019.
In July, the ministry boasted about this year's biggest borrowing on the domestic market after government domestic loan bonds were placed for UAH 33.3 billion (almost $1.3 billion) in total, including $1 billion.
Ukraine's foreign currency debt payments in the second half of 2019 are estimated at about $4.6 billion, including peak payments in September when $1.7 billion need to be paid.
