By the end of 2020, Ukraine must pay $ 5.834 billion
The National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) has published a schedule of planned payments of external debt to non-residents in foreign currency. Data as of October 1, 2020.
This will be reported on the website of the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU).
According to the plan, the government, the central bank, companies and banks for the IV quarter of 2020 must pay $ 5.834 million, of which $ 72 million is a debt with the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
Also in the IV quarter it is necessary to pay 2.329 billion UAH to non-residents who own Ukrainian government bonds.
According to the NBU, in 2021 the government, the central bank, companies and banks must pay $ 15,451 billion, of which $ 11,479 billion is the principal amount of debt and $ 3,972 billion is interest.

During October 2020, the amount of Ukraine’s debt increased in hryvnia equivalent by UAH 22.52 billion (1.0%) and, in dollar terms, the debt increased by $ 0.39 billion (by 0.5 %).
