Revised data on bank profits and taxes published
The National Bank of Ukraine has published the final version of the banks’ balance sheet reports for 2024, which takes into account adjusting entries. Pre-tax profit decreased by 1% compared to the previous report, while tax payable increased by almost 15%. The total after-tax profit of banks decreased to UAH 90.9 billion. 93% of the additional charges fell on state-owned banks.
The total pre-tax profit of Ukrainian banks for 2024 amounted to UAH 186.8 billion, almost the same as in the previous NBU data. However, after-tax profit fell significantly, by UAH 12.8 billion (i.e., 12%), and now stands at UAH 90.9 billion.
This was due to a significant additional income tax assessment, which ultimately increased by 15% and reached UAH 95.9 billion. Accordingly, taxes will eat up 51% of profits. For comparison, in 2023, this figure was 48%, and in 2022, only 25%.
93% of all additional charges fell on state-owned banks, which is 11.78 billion UAH in additional taxes. Oschadbank paid the most: its income tax after adjustment increased 2.5 times, from 4.3 to 10.66 billion UAH (+6.36 billion UAH).
Ukreximbank paid an additional UAH 2.94 billion — its tax increased 15 times. Sens Bank (formerly Alfa-Bank) — 58 times, to UAH 1.97 billion (+UAH 1.94 billion). The only state-owned bank where the tax decreased was Ukrgasbank: -UAH 455 million.
Banks with foreign capital were charged a total of only UAH 118.57 million.
Banks with private capital were charged UAH 1.34 billion, with the largest amounts going to A-Bank (+UAH 541 million), Bank Pivdenny (+UAH 308 million), and MTB (+UAH 225 million).
The largest increase in income tax after adjustment was recorded by the Ukrainian Bank for Reconstruction and Development, which rose 84 times, from UAH 247,000 to UAH 20.76 million.
Overall, income tax after adjustment increased for 22 banks, by UAH 12.7 billion. At the same time, it decreased by UAH 513.4 million in 12 banks (88.8% of which fell on Ukrgasbank). As a result, the amount of tax exceeded the net profit of banks by UAH 5 billion.

A new study has found that most parents and caregivers believe that families should protect children’s rights, but they lack a clear understanding of those rights and may sometimes violate them.
KYIV, 3 June 2025. Almost all parents and caregivers recognize their key role in protecting their children’s rights and helping them realize their rights, but more than a third admit that they sometimes violate these rights, according to a new UNICEF survey.
The findings, released to mark the start of International Month of Fatherhood, also show that 89% of parents surveyed do not have a clear understanding of what children’s rights are under the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, which outlines children’s civil, political, economic, social, and cultural rights.
“The responses of parents in our survey show that they are determined to better protect their children’s rights and provide them with all the necessary support and care,” said Munir Mammadzade, UNICEF Representative in Ukraine. “At the same time, they are genuinely concerned about how their actions affect their children in such stressful times.”
The teenagers who participated in the survey indicated that their rights were most often violated through psychological or physical abuse, disregard for their opinions, or violations of their privacy.
“We must do everything possible to protect and ensure the rights of children everywhere, including at home,” said Daria Gerasymchuk, Advisor to the President of Ukraine on Children’s Rights and Child Rehabilitation. “Parents and caregivers are going through extremely difficult times and are trying to cope with the consequences of the war, so we are committed to doing everything we can to help them raise their children.”
Parents may sometimes violate their children’s rights, but 67% of adolescents aged 14 to 18 said they would turn to their parents for protection if their rights were violated, and another 24% consider teachers to be their second most important source of support.
“Parents are the main source of support for a child’s development and well-being, but it is difficult for them to cope on their own, especially in times of war,” said Mr Mammadzade. “A strong foundation for children’s rights is laid at home, but it must be reinforced by policies and services that help parents and caregivers to care for the next generation.”
Other key findings from the survey show that:
UNICEF is launching a campaign to strengthen knowledge about children’s rights and calls for children to be respected and empowered to defend their rights.
Notes for editors:
The digital survey, “Perceptions of children’s rights: knowledge, attitudes, and implementation experiences in Ukrainian families,” includes responses from 600 men and women aged 19 to 55 who have children, as well as 400 adolescents aged 14 to 18. The survey was conducted throughout Ukraine by Gradus Research.
