The official exchange rate of the hryvnia against the US dollar on October 6 was set at 36.6216 UAH/USD.
The National Bank has been raising the exchange rate of the dollar against the hryvnia for three consecutive days. The single European currency also rose in price. This was confirmed by data on the regulator’s website on Thursday, October 5.
Thus, the official exchange rate of the hryvnia against the dollar on Friday was set at 36.6216 UAH per 1 dollar (+0.0193 UAH). And the euro exchange rate will be 38.5406 hryvnia per 1 euro (+0.1118 UAH).
At the same time, in the interbank market today the dollar exchange rate decreased by 3 kopecks – to 36.59-36.61 UAH/dollar (buying and selling). And in the cash market, the average exchange rate dropped by 15 kopecks to 38.20 hryvnia per dollar.
As is known, from October 3, the National Bank introduced a regime of managed flexibility of the exchange rate. Before this, since the beginning of the war, the regulator maintained a fixed exchange rate of the hryvnia against the dollar, initially 29.25 UAH/dollar, and from July 21, 2022 – 36.57 UAH/dollar.
Now the banks will sell and buy money at a free rate without the limit of 1% of the official rate that has been in force since the beginning of the war. Taking into account the exchange rate in the interbank market, the NBU will set the official rate. However, the regulator promised to significantly limit changes in the exchange rate, preventing both a significant weakening of the Hryvnia and a significant strengthening. But at the moment, the American currency is gradually becoming more expensive.
