Overview
Ukraine's domestic credit stood at 38.21% in 2025, a decline of +1.54% from 2023. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 38.21% by 2025. Ukraine ranked 40th globally.
Ukraine’s domestic credit to the private sector has fallen sharply over the past 17 years, sliding from an early‑record 90.89 in 2008 to an all‑time trough of 38.21 in 2025, the lowest level among the 40 countries with the most recent data. The indicator peaked at 108.46 in 2014, a year marked by heightened geopolitical tension and macro‑economic instability, before entering a prolonged contraction that reflects both reduced lending capacity and heightened risk aversion among banks. By 2025 Ukraine ranked 40th globally, with a value just above Uganda’s 36.13 and below Solomon Islands’ 40.45, underscoring its relative weakness among peers. The persistent decline suggests that without substantial reforms to improve credit risk assessment, strengthen capital buffers, and restore investor confidence, the downward trajectory is likely to continue, although a coordinated policy response could reverse the trend in the medium term.
