Summary
A Ukraine debt index has returned 150% since the start of 2023, making the country one of the bond market’s standout performers despite the war.
Billions of euros in fresh European aid, restructuring deals with creditors and Ukraine’s battlefield resilience have convinced investors the country can keep meeting severe wartime pressures.
This year is also shaping up for another run of double-digit gains, extending a rally that traders increasingly see as a bet on Ukraine’s staying power.
The surge signals a broader shift in market confidence: investors are no longer focused only on survival risk, but on the possibility that Ukraine can keep defying expectations.
