The Central Bank of Ukraine announced that international reserves increased by 6.4% in October, reaching a record level of 49.5 billion dollars, the highest in the country's history. This increase was driven by significant capital inflows from international partners, which exceeded the bank's foreign currency sales and the government's external debt repayments. In October, the Ukrainian government received 6.4 billion dollars in foreign currency, including 4.7 billion dollars from the European Union through the G7 initiative, 1.1 billion dollars from the World Bank, 507.7 million dollars from government securities, and 117 million dollars from the Council of Europe Development Bank. Additionally, the Central Bank spent 612 million dollars to repay government debts in foreign currency. These record reserves underscore the impact of Western aid in maintaining Ukraine's macroeconomic stability in the context of the Russian invasion.
