| Currency | NBU exchange rate |
|---|---|

What’s happening with the hryvnia
The official hryvnia-to-dollar exchange rate continues to weaken gradually. The dollar’s new high of 44.2767 UAH may influence business and public expectations, as the official rate is often used in import settlements, price planning, and financial transactions.
At the same time, the situation with the euro is different: despite the high exchange rate, the European currency fell slightly on May 27. This may be related not only to Ukraine’s domestic currency market but also to fluctuations in the euro/dollar pair on global markets.
