Payments for December and January cashback will take place at the end of February.
Cashback for purchases of Ukrainian goods in November of this year was almost twice as much as in October. In total, 232 million hryvnias have been paid out, and the number of program participants has increased to 2 million.
This was reported by the Ministry of Economy of Ukraine.
“This indicates a growing interest in the program and demand for Ukrainian goods,” said First Vice Prime Minister and Minister of Economy of Ukraine Yulia Svyrydenko. She also emphasized that payments for December and January will be made at the end of February 2025.
According to the data, the most active participants in the program are citizens under 45 years old, making up 60% of all users, and 24% are middle-aged participants, aged 45-59 years. Only 16% are people over 60 years old.
However, about 700 thousand citizens did not receive cashback due to incomplete card activation or insufficient accumulated amount. The total amount of cashback accumulated by these citizens is 48 million hryvnia.
To date, more than 7.9 million citizens and 8.6 million National Cashback cards are participating in the program, of which 4.2 million have been activated for future payments. The total amount of cashback paid over three months is 388 million hryvnia.
The program supports more than 1,600 Ukrainian manufacturers, and cashback is available for 360 thousand products available in national and regional retail chains, pharmacies and gas stations.
National cashback in the amount of 10% is accrued for purchases of Ukrainian goods that match the list in stores participating in the program. Cashback is credited to a special card that cannot be used to withdraw cash, but can be spent on utilities, medical expenses, transportation, insurance and other services, as well as on charity or support for the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
