Investing is an effective tool for achieving financial stability and securing one's future. However, in the conditions of the war, the economy of Ukraine is not experiencing the best times. The general level of geopolitical tension in the world is also increasing, which additionally affects the world of investments.

  Where will Ukrainians invest in 2024? We will find out further.

Top investment tools among Ukrainians

According to experts' estimates, in 2023-2024, the vast majority of Ukrainians will invest their money in the following investment instruments: 40% - real estate, 30% - deposits, 20% - shares and 10% - cryptocurrencies.

● Deposits

Many Ukrainians invested their money in hryvnia deposits in 2023. Given that the rate of inflation was reduced from 26% to 5.1% during 2023, deposits in the national currency brought a real return. On average, after paying taxes, the depositor received 11.2% per annum.

However, as of January 1, 2024, the average return on hryvnia deposits was 14.2% per annum. Considering this year's planned inflation at the level of 10-10.5%, keeping funds in banks will barely save savings from depreciation.

A deposit in foreign currency for a year could bring a net income of about 2.3%.

● Investing in government bonds

In 2023, the state placed annual OVDP at 18.5% per annum. Given that, unlike deposits, income from OVDP does not require paying taxes, this type of investment brought income that is 3.5 times higher than the inflation rate.

At the beginning of 2024, the yield of annual OVDPs in hryvnia was 16.8%, so if the experts' calculations prove to be correct, investing in OVDPs will bring investors an income that will exceed inflation by 6.5-7%.
