Ukraine’s National Bank set new record official exchange rates for January 9, raising the dollar by 27 kopecks to 42.99 UAH and the euro by 25 kopecks to 50.18 UAH. Since January 1, the dollar has strengthened by 64 kopecks and the euro by 39 kopecks.
On the cash market by 16:00 on January 8, average selling rates reached 43.32 UAH for the dollar and 50.64 UAH for the euro, up 25 kopecks from January 7. Buying rates rose to 42.66 UAH and 49.88 UAH respectively.
On the interbank market on January 7, the dollar traded at 42.91–42.94 UAH and the euro at 50.20–50.22 UAH—about 34 kopecks higher than the previous session.
Analysts attribute the rise to increased demand for foreign currency, exceeding supply by around 10%. Experts expect possible stabilization later in January if demand decreases. Forecasts suggest a moderate hryvnia depreciation by year-end 2026, with the dollar potentially reaching 44.3–44.8 UAH.
