Gross savings as % of GDP NY.GNS.ICTR.ZS

Overview
Ukraine's gross savings stood at 4.38% in 2025, a decline of +7.64% from 2024. The IMF projects 4.38% by 2025. Ukraine ranked 157th globally.
Ukraine’s gross savings rate has fallen dramatically over the 34‑year series, slipping from an all‑time peak of 35.26 percent in 1992 to a trough of 4.38 percent in 2025, placing the country 157th in the world. The steep decline reflects prolonged macro‑economic instability, war‑related fiscal pressures and a persistent current‑account deficit that have eroded household and corporate capacity to retain earnings. By contrast, peers with similarly low rankings such as Guinea (5.43 percent) and Comoros (2.38 percent) also record modest savings, underscoring a regional pattern of limited domestic capital formation. The contraction in Ukraine’s savings pool reduces the supply of financing for investment, potentially hampering long‑term growth prospects. Should fiscal consolidation, structural reforms and a durable peace environment improve disposable incomes and corporate profitability, the savings rate could stabilise or begin to rise, altering the current downward trajectory.
