Despite the war and limited budget resources, the average salary of Ukrainian officials continues to grow rapidly. According to the Ministry of Finance, in April 2025, the average salary in the central executive bodies reached UAH 57.2 thousand, which is 19.3% more than in April 2024 (UAH 48.0 thousand).
For comparison, the average salary in the country, according to the Pension Fund, in April was only UAH 19.9 thousand - growth more modest, only 17.9% per year.
Rating of salaries among government agencies
The largest salaries are received by the Accounting Chamber - an average of UAH 117.5 thousand per month. The structure employs 501 people.
In the second place was the NERCEP (National Energy and Utilities Regulation Commission) - 102.0 thousand hryvnias per month, staff - 518 people.
It is interesting that the NACC, which heads anti -corruption policy, occupies the third place, although the average salary there is higher - UAH 186.2 thousand. But the total number of staff is only 368.
In total, the salaries of civil servants increased by an average of 20% per year.
Leadership salaries: who receives the most
If you look at the data on the heads of the state institutions, the situation is even more impressive. The average salary of executives in April was 126.6 thousand hryvnias, but there are real record holders.
-
NERCEP: average salary of 470.4 thousand UAH in 7 executives
-
NACC: UAH 276.3 thousand in 5 officials
-
National Art and Art Education Agency: UAH 236.8 thousand (2 leaders)
In total, 21,995 people received salaries in the central authorities in April.
Against the background of general impoverishment of the population and the increased tax burden, the growth of salaries in the state apparatus raises more questions. Especially - regarding the cost efficiency and expediency of such rewards for the heads of institutions, some of which exist on paper than demonstrates real results.
Recall that in 2023-2024 the Cabinet has repeatedly promised to review the salaries of civil servants within the framework of the cost optimization program. However, in fact, growth is ongoing.
