The NBU's mission is to ensure price and financial stability, to promote sustainable economic development to strengthen Ukraine's capacity both on its path to Victory and during post-war recovery.

The Council of the National Bank consists of 9 members: 4 are appointed by the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine, another 4 by the President of Ukraine, and the Head of the National Bank is a member of the Council ex officio.

The National Bank of Ukraine, the National Securities and Stock Market Commission, the Ministry of Finance of Ukraine and the Deposit Guarantee Fund developed a new Strategy for the development of Ukraine's financial sector, focused on resisting Russian aggression and the country's recovery. The Strategy was agreed by the Financial Stability Council on 19 July 2023 and replaced the pre-war Strategy for the development of Ukraine's financial sector until 2025.
