Abstract

The purpose of the article is to assess the fluctuations of financial stress and to study the resilience of the banking sector of Ukraine in the countercyclical events of the war. The study used methods such as analysis, correlation, and regression analysis. It examined the banking system's functioning and evaluated its operational stability during the martial law period. The primary focus was on the Financial Stress Index, measures of financial stability, adherence to economic standards, and profitability. The study also delved into understanding the influence of different factors on bank revenues. The findings revealed several key insights. Firstly, the level of financial stress exhibited fluctuations influenced by military events, attack activity and the National Bank of Ukraine's regular policies. Secondly, the study indicated that adherence to economic standards and the dynamics of financial stability indicators did not experience significant fluctuations, demonstrating the stable performance of the sector.
