Ukraine Statutory default interest (стаття 625 ЦК)

Ukraine Statutory default interest (стаття 625 ЦК): no single figure applies. The reason is set out below, cited to the governing instrument. Last checked against the official source on 10 Aug 2026.

Ukraine's monetary-default regime is a two-part construct, not a rate: the debt adjusted by the official inflation index over the whole delay plus 3% per annum (Civil Code art. 625(2)), unless contract or law sets a different rate.

What this value means

REFUSAL AS A RATE, because the statutory remedy is not a rate: art. 625(2) awards TWO CUMULATIVE COMPONENTS, both claimable regardless of fault — (1) the debt indexed by the official Derzhstat CPI over the entire delay, plus (2) 3% per annum on the overdue sum — so any single percentage served here would understate the remedy; the computation needs the inflation series and belongs in a computed-answer endpoint, not a rate field. SCOPE CHANGED RECENTLY: the Commercial (Economic) Code lost force on 28 August 2025 (Law No. 4196-IX), taking with it the old NBU-discount-rate-linked penalty rules (ГК arts. 231-232, including double-NBU-rate defaults) — art. 625 ЦК is now the general regime for monetary default in commercial matters too; any cached notes citing ГК 231/232 are stale. Contractual пеня remains capped at double the NBU discount rate (Law 543/96-ВР) — a cap on agreed penalties, not a statutory default rate.
