The dollar and the euro have fallen in value again: The NBU has updated its exchange rates for April 8
8 April 07:21
On Wednesday, April 8, 2026, the National Bank of Ukraine once again lowered the official dollar exchange rate. The U.S. currency has been depreciating for the third consecutive day. The euro also fell, although the decline was less pronounced. This is evidenced by updated data on the regulator’s website, according to "Komersant Ukrainian"
Such fluctuations confirm that Ukraine’s currency market continues to operate in a state of constant volatility.
What exchange rate did the NBU set for April 8?
The National Bank set the official hryvnia-to-dollar exchange rate for April 8 at 43.4946 UAH per dollar. For comparison, on April 7, the official rate was 43.5831 UAH per dollar.
Thus, the dollar officially depreciated by 8.85 kopecks over the course of the day.
This marks the third consecutive decline in the official dollar exchange rate.
What is the euro exchange rate on April 8
The official hryvnia-to-euro exchange rate on April 8 was set at 50.2711 UAH per euro. The day before, on April 7, the rate stood at 50.3210 UAH per euro. Thus, the European currency lost 4.99 kopecks.
So, on April 8, both key currencies—the dollar and the euro—fell. But the dollar fell more noticeably than the euro.
Why do people talk about “currency swings”?
The phrase “currency swings” means that exchange rates have been fluctuating frequently up and down recently. The National Bank updates official rates daily, and even minor changes of a few kopecks attract the attention of the market and consumers.
Simply put, this isn’t about a currency crash or surge, but about daily fluctuations that create a sense of instability.
