Exchange rates as of April 1: The dollar and the euro have risen sharply
1 April 10:10
The National Bank of Ukraine has set the official exchange rates for April 1. Following the hryvnia’s earlier strengthening, the dollar, euro, and Polish zloty have risen in value again. The euro’s exchange rate saw the most significant increase, while the dollar gained more than 12 kopecks. This is evidenced by updated data on the regulator’s website, according to
According to the NBU, as of Wednesday, April 1, the official exchange rate stands at 43.9175 UAH per US dollar, 50.4546 UAH per euro, and 11.7581 UAH per Polish zloty.
For convenience in news reports, these figures are usually rounded to 43.91 UAH per dollar, 50.45 UAH per euro, and 11.76 UAH per zloty.
What is the dollar exchange rate as of April 1
The official US dollar exchange rate as of April 1 is set at 43.9175 UAH. For comparison, the rate was lower the day before, so the hryvnia has lost some ground against the US currency.
In effect, this means that the National Bank has once again raised the official dollar exchange rate after a brief period of decline. For the market, this signals another fluctuation within the daily exchange rate dynamics, and for Ukrainians, it serves as a benchmark for banks, currency exchange offices, and non-cash transactions.
What is the euro exchange rate as of April 1
The euro rose even more significantly on April 1. The NBU’s official exchange rate is 50.4546 UAH per euro. This means that the European currency has once again settled above the psychological threshold of 50 hryvnias.
This time, the euro showed the most significant growth among the three major currencies that traditionally interest Ukrainians the most. This is important for those who monitor the cost of imported goods, travel to the EU, money transfers, or savings in the European currency.
What is the zloty exchange rate as of April 1?
The Polish zloty has also risen. As of April 1, the NBU set its exchange rate at 11.7581 UAH per unit of the Polish currency.
The zloty remains an important benchmark for many Ukrainians due to labor migration, trips to Poland, money transfers, and payments related to living or working abroad. Therefore, even a change of a few kopecks in the exchange rate can be significant for those who regularly conduct transactions in this currency.
What does this currency appreciation mean?
The appreciation of the dollar, euro, and zloty means that as of April 1, the hryvnia has weakened against major foreign currencies. This refers to the official exchange rate set by the NBU, not the cash rate at banks or exchange offices, but it serves as the baseline benchmark for many calculations.
For consumers, this could mean more expensive imported goods, potential price changes for certain services and electronics, as well as new benchmarks for those buying or selling currency.
At the same time, such daily fluctuations do not in themselves indicate a long-term trend—they merely reflect the current dynamics of the currency market.
