Yesterday, the National Bank raised the dollar exchange rate for the second time in a row to a historical maximum – 41.8271 Hryvnia per 1 dollar (+0.0868 UAH). Since the beginning of the year, the exchange rate has increased by almost 4 hryvnias (10.1%) from 37.98 UAH/dollar on December 31, 2023.

As you know, on December 12, the National Bank unexpectedly increased the discount rate. The regulator made this decision in response to inflation rising to 11.2% in November.
