The official hryvnia exchange rate ended May with another record decline against the dollar and euro. This is confirmed by the data on the website of the National Bank on Friday, May 31.
Thus, the official dollar exchange rate on June 3 was set at UAH 40.5373 (+0.0372 UAH). This is a new historical record.
In turn, the euro rose significantly in price – 43.9850 UAH (+0.1679 UAH). This is also the maximum. The previous record was on May 28 – 43.9708 UAH.
On the interbank market, the price of the American currency rose by only 2 kopecks – to 40.59-40.62 UAH/dollar (buying and selling) compared to the previous day’s close.
At the same time, in the cash market the dollar rose by 10 kopecks – up to 41.15 UAH/dollar.
Let us remind you that in the past two weeks the dollar has risen in price more than the Hryvnia. And in May its rate increased by 2.1% (from 39.66 UAH/dollar on April 30). Since the beginning of the year, the dollar has increased by 6.6% (37.98 UAH/dollar as of December 31, 2023).
Financial market participants believe that the main reason for the devaluation of the Hryvnia is the political decision of the NBU, whose time has come.
