The dollar and the euro have fallen in value: exchange rates as of April 29
29 April 08:02
The National Bank of Ukraine has set the official exchange rates for Wednesday, April 29, 2026. Following a previous rise, major foreign currencies have lost some ground: the dollar, the euro, and the Polish zloty have weakened against the hryvnia. This is evidenced by updated data on the regulator’s website, according to "Komersant Ukrainian"
Dollar exchange rate as of April 29
On Wednesday, the National Bank set the official dollar exchange rate at:
1 U.S. dollar — 44.0735 UAH
Rounded to 44.07 UAH per dollar. Compared to the previous day, the U.S. currency fell by approximately 1 kopeck.
Despite the slight decline, the dollar remains near high levels—over 44 UAH. This indicates that the currency market is under pressure, although there is no sharp spike in the exchange rate at this time.
Euro exchange rate as of April 29
The euro has fallen more noticeably. The official exchange rate for the European currency is:
1 euro — 51.4999 UAH
Rounded to 51.49 UAH per euro. Compared to the previous banking day, the euro lost about 26–27 kopecks.
This decline may be linked not only to Ukraine’s domestic currency market but also to fluctuations in the euro/dollar pair on international markets.
Zloty exchange rate as of April 29
The Polish zloty also weakened against the hryvnia. As of April 29, the official exchange rate is:
1 Polish zloty — 12.1218 UAH
Rounded to the nearest whole number — 12.12 UAH per zloty. Compared to the previous day, the Polish currency depreciated by approximately 7 kopecks.
The zloty exchange rate is important for Ukrainians who work, study, or frequently travel to Poland, as well as for businesses that conduct transactions with Polish partners.

NBU exchange rates as of April 29: table
| Currency | Official NBU exchange rate | Change |
|---|---|---|
| US Dollar | 44.0735 UAH | -1 kop. |

| Polish zloty | 12.1218 UAH | -7 kopecks |
Why the hryvnia has partially strengthened
After several days of growth, foreign currencies retreated slightly. This may indicate a partial strengthening of the hryvnia within the managed floating exchange rate regime, where the National Bank smooths out excessive exchange rate fluctuations.
Additionally, in the cash market, Ukrainians began selling currency more actively than buying it. This behavior can be explained by the need for hryvnia to cover current expenses, as well as the desire of some citizens to lock in a favorable exchange rate after the dollar rose above 44 UAH.
What this means for Ukrainians
A slight decline in the dollar, euro, and zloty exchange rates does not signal a sharp turnaround in the currency market. Currencies remain at high levels, and the hryvnia continues to respond to supply and demand, the interbank market situation, and the expectations of businesses and the public.
Exchange rates affect the prices of imported goods, equipment, cars, fuel, medicines, foreign travel, and goods that businesses purchase abroad. The NBU’s official exchange rate is also used for accounting calculations, customs payments, and financial reporting.
