In the first five months of 2026, revenues to the general fund of the state budget of Ukraine reached 1.36 trillion UAH, while the total income, including the special fund, amounted to 1.8 trillion UAH. The main sources of budget replenishment were taxes, international aid, and profit transfers from the National Bank of Ukraine.

Main Sources of State Budget Revenues
The largest share in the structure of budget revenues was traditionally provided by the value-added tax on imported goods, which brought 258 billion UAH to the state treasury. Ukrainian enterprises paid 180.7 billion UAH in profit tax during this period.
- 167.5 billion UAH — revenues from personal income tax and military levy;
- 132.7 billion UAH — domestic VAT;
- 123.6 billion UAH — excise duties;
- 25.1 billion UAH — customs duties;
- 19.9 billion UAH — payments for the use of subsoil resources.
International Support and the Role of the National Bank
International partners continue to actively support Ukrainian finances. In five months, the country received 249.9 billion UAH in grant aid from donors. An additional 146.1 billion UAH was transferred to the budget as part of the profit remitted by the National Bank of Ukraine.
“The revenue plan was fulfilled at 101.9%, indicating the preservation of the financial stability of the system even in wartime.”
At the same time, state expenditures from January to May 2026 reached 2.25 trillion UAH, exceeding the income volume. A total of 301.7 billion UAH in a single social contribution was transferred to the social insurance system and the Pension Fund.
Borrowing and Debt Servicing
The government of Ukraine continues to attract international financing: since the beginning of the year, state borrowings amounted to 260.6 billion UAH. Of this amount, over 68 billion UAH came from international financial institutions, including from the International Monetary Fund under the current cooperation program.
Expenditures for state debt repayment amounted to 229 billion UAH, while debt servicing costs were an additional 143.8 billion UAH. Thus, the financial stability of the state is maintained through a combination of internal tax revenues, international support, and the attraction of external credit resources.
