Ukrainians were shown how the volumes of cash turnover in banks have changed over the year.


The volumes of cash turnover in banks in Ukraine increased over the year, reports the National Bank. In 2024, there was a recorded increase in the acceptance and issuance of cash through the banking system. The cash accepted was 2,819.3 billion hryvnias, which is 13% more, while the cash issued was 2,862.6 billion hryvnias, an increase of 12.5% compared to 2023.
Two factors influenced the growth of cash turnover. Firstly, positive economic trends led to an increase in salaries and social payments, which immediately reflected in the cash turnover in banks. In addition, uncertainty related to the war forced citizens to withdraw cash and create monetary reserves in case of possible attacks.
