The average cash dollar exchange rate decreased to 37.60 Hryvnia. At the same time, the euro exchange rate rose to 41.10 hryvnia.
The hryvnia exchange rate continues to strengthen in the cash market against the dollar. RBC-Ukraine reported this in connection with monitoring data on Friday, December 15.
This morning the average dollar exchange rate decreased by 5 kopecks to 37.60 Hryvnia. At the same time, the euro exchange rate increased by 20 kopecks to 41.10 hryvnia.
In exchange offices they buy a dollar for an average of 37.10 UAH, and a euro for 40.40 UAH.
In the interbank market, the American currency is at the level of 37.00-37.02 (buying and selling) – an increase of 5 kopecks compared to the previous day’s close.
In turn, the National Bank lowered the dollar exchange rate below 37 hryvnia, and the euro exceeded 40 hryvnia for the first time since August.
The official exchange rate on December 14 was set at 36.9913 UAH per 1 dollar (-0.0332 UAH). The euro exchange rate is 40.413 UAH per 1 euro (+0.4913 UAH).
As you know, on October 2, the National Bank announced a regime of managed exchange rate flexibility. Before this, since the beginning of the war, the regulator maintained a fixed exchange rate of the hryvnia against the dollar – first 29.25 UAH/dollar, and from July 21, 2022 – 36.57 UAH/dollar. However, unlike the official dollar exchange rate, it was significantly higher last year – there was a period when it reached 43 hryvnia.
And from December 1, the National Bank removed all restrictions on the sale of cash currency to the population. After that, cash and official rates began to converge. The regulator believes this will help stabilize exchange rate expectations and increase the stability of the foreign exchange market.
