Domestic credit to private sector as % of GDP FS.AST.PRVT.GD.ZS
Ukraine's credit to gdp was 13.70% in 2025, ranked 133rd globally. This represents a 26.5% decrease from 2024. Data from World Bank, covering 2008–2025.
Overview
Ukraine's credit to gdp stood at 13.70% in 2025, a decline of +4.95% from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 13.70% by 2025. Ukraine ranked 133rd globally.
Ukraine’s credit‑to‑GDP ratio has contracted sharply over the 17‑year span from 84.56 % in 2008 to a trough of 13.70 % in 2025, the lowest level recorded in the series and placing the country 133rd in the World Bank ranking. The dramatic decline follows an all‑time peak of 87.35 % in 2009, reflecting the combined impact of prolonged conflict, capital flight and a tightening of external financing conditions. By contrast, peer economies such as Suriname (14.29 %) and the Republic of Congo (13.54 %) exhibit similarly low ratios, underscoring a regional pattern of reduced credit availability. The persistent downward trajectory suggests that without substantial fiscal consolidation, structural reforms or renewed foreign investment, Ukraine’s credit‑to‑GDP ratio is likely to remain near the current trough, limiting its capacity to finance growth and reconstruction.
