Ukrainian domestic government bonds are debt securities that the government sells to primary dealers and their clients in the primary market to cover the state budget financing needs.
Buying and selling of bonds in the secondary market occur between professional market participants and their clients (individuals, legal entities, non-residents).
At present, the NBU acts as a depository for domestic government bonds maintaining their centralized record-keeping in book-entry form.
In order to promote foreign investments in domestic government bonds NBU establish correspondent relations with foreign depositories.
Details of the link with the foreign depository can be found here: Ukrainian government bond and Ukrainian FX market: CBL-NBU link details.
