Prices, incomes and expenditures of Ukrainians: how purchasing power has changed in 2025<\/h2>\n

Rising prices: who feels it the most<\/h3>\n

According to the State Statistics Service, the consumer price index in September 2025 compared to September 2024 was about 15,2 %<\/strong>. Food (+18 %), transport (+21 %) and utilities (+12 %) rose the most.
At the same time, the nominal average income of Ukrainians in July 2025 was approximately 15 500 UAH<\/strong>, which in real terms, adjusted for inflation, gives about 13 400 UAH<\/strong> (a decrease of ~3 %-4 % per year).<\/p>\n

Revenues stagnate, costs rise<\/h3>\n

Ukrainian households are forced to look for compensations<\/strong>:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • \n

    spend less on entertainment and nonessential purchases;<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    are more likely to turn to additional working capacity<\/strong> (freelance, part-time work);<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

  • \n

    increased demand for instalments and consumer lending<\/strong> - in the first half of 2025, the volume of consumer loans increased by 28 % compared to the same period in 2024.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    What it means for Ukrainians<\/h3>\n
      \n
    1. \n

      Real incomes are declining<\/strong>, Although nominally they are growing.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    2. \n

      Most of the budget is spent on basic needs<\/em>Food, utilities, transport.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    3. \n

      Happening. breakdown of the \u201cexpenses = income + savings\u201d model\u201d<\/strong> - savings become smaller or non-existent.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n

    4. \n

      Ukrainians are adapting - more freelancing, saving on services, borrowing more.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      \n

      Perspective<\/h3>\n

      By the end of 2025, it is expected that inflation will be 14-16 %<\/strong>, and average incomes will increase nominally by 8-10 %. However, without accelerated reform of the salary policy<\/strong>, protection of purchasing power<\/strong> and Reduced energy dependence<\/strong>, Ukrainians will have to live in the mode of \u201cnew economic modesty\u201d<\/strong>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
