The financial condition of Ukrainian businesses in 2025 has almost returned to its pre-war level, according to the National Bank of Ukraine.The NBU said companies generally have low debt burdens and strong liquidity. However, overall financial health remains weighed down by moderate profitability, though profitability is now close to its 2021 level.More than half of Ukrainian enterprises saw revenue growth in 2025 that was below the inflation rate.Last year, companies with strong or excellent financial health accounted for about 50% of total corporate assets and generated roughly 60% of total revenue among the enterprises included in the NBU’s study.Another third of assets belonged to companies with satisfactory financial indicators.The share of financially strong companies is especially high among small and microbusinesses, exceeding 60% in terms of assets.The strongest financial performance was recorded in agriculture, mechanical engineering, trade and the processing industry.By contrast, the chemical industry and metallurgy saw the largest increase in the share of financially weak companies compared with the pre-war period.In frontline regions, companies with strong or excellent financial health accounted for about 43% of assets — nine percentage points lower than in central and western regions. The gap is mainly due to weaker revenue dynamics and lower return on assets.At the same time, companies in frontline regions maintained operating profitability close to the national average, the NBU said.The data suggests that Ukrainian businesses have adapted significantly to wartime conditions, supported by liquidity, cautious borrowing and recovering activity, even as profitability and regional disparities remain key challenges.https://ubn.news/nbu-ukrainian-business-financial-health-returns-close-to-pre-war-levels/ (ICE KIEV)
