31.03.202613:13:50UTC+00Ukraine’s Current Account Deficit Widens Sharply to $5.5 Billion in February 2026

Ukraine’s external position deteriorated significantly in February 2026, as the country’s current account deficit deepened to USD -5.500 billion, according to data updated on 31 March 2026. This marks a substantial widening from January 2026, when the deficit stood at USD -0.630 billion.

The sharp month-on-month increase in the current account gap highlights mounting imbalances in Ukraine’s trade and income flows with the rest of the world. While detailed drivers behind the February surge were not disclosed in the latest release, the scale of the deterioration is likely to draw close attention from investors, policymakers and international partners monitoring the country’s external financing needs and currency stability.

With the February data now in, markets will be watching upcoming releases to assess whether this widening deficit is a one-off spike or the beginning of a more persistent trend in Ukraine’s balance of payments position.
