The euro exchange rate in Ukraine has risen to a new record, reaching 50 hryvnias per unit. In the context of currency market instability, the dollar is also showing an increase, but at a slower pace.
According to information from reliable sources, last week the average selling rate of the euro currency increased by 47 kopecks and nearly reached the mark of 50 hryvnias. At the same time, the dollar rose by 12 kopecks, pushing it back to an average level of 42.50 hryvnias per dollar.
Market Trends and Forecasts
Experts believe that the current week could be decisive for the exchange rate, as an important event affecting the issue of financial assistance to Ukraine for 2026 will take place on December 18-19. This financial support will be critically important in the context of the stability of Ukraine's economy.
Specialists such as Oleg Pendzin from the Economic Discussion Club emphasize that the European Commission's decision on financial assistance could contribute to the stabilization of the hryvnia exchange rate. At the same time, economist Andriy Zablovskyi notes that seasonal demand for foreign currency is leading to an increase in the dollar's exchange rate.
Exchange Rates in Ukrainian Banks
Based on data obtained from "PrivatBank," the dollar exchange rate for card transactions this week has decreased to 42.37 hryvnias, while the euro exchange rate remained at the previous level of 50 hryvnias. The official exchange rate as of December 15 also shows an increase of the hryvnia, specifically to 49.47 hryvnias per euro.
Considering the existing trends, experts are confident that the issue of buying and selling currency is more relevant than ever, and Ukrainians should be cautious with their finances. Specialists' advice boils down to refraining from sudden financial actions until the situation on the currency market is clarified.
