The National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) has approved the official exchange rate of the dollar to the hryvnia for tomorrow, November 26, at the level of 42.40 hryvnias per dollar. This rate has become yet another historical maximum for the Ukrainian currency, as the hryvnia has significantly weakened its position.
According to NBU data, the exchange rate of the euro has also changed and has been set at 48.95 hryvnias per one euro, indicating a depreciation of the hryvnia by 3 kopecks. On the interbank foreign exchange market, the Ukrainian currency showed quotations of 42.41/42.44 UAH/USD for the dollar and 48.96/48.98 UAH/EUR for the euro.
Currency Rate Dynamics
Compared to yesterday's figures, the dollar exchange rate has increased by 11 kopecks, while the euro rate has risen by 21 kopecks. Experts note that the situation in the foreign exchange market may be caused by seasonal demand for cash currency, as well as problems in the country's energy sector, which can create additional pressure on the currency.
Analysts' Forecasts
Economists predict further growth in the dollar exchange rate, considering the soaring demand from the public and businesses. Analyst Taras Lesovyi believes that by the end of the year, the dollar rate could reach 45 hryvnias. At the same time, analysts from the investment company Dragon Capital consider an increase to 43.5 hryvnias possible by the end of 2025.
NBU officials emphasize that the regulator has all the necessary tools to maintain stability in the foreign exchange market, including external financial assistance from international partners.
