What happened to the exchange rate on May 12

The day before, on May 12, the official exchange rates were as follows:

• US dollar — 43.95 UAH;
• euro — 51.72 UAH.

In other words, over the course of the day, the dollar strengthened slightly against the hryvnia, while the euro, on the contrary, weakened.

What’s happening with the hryvnia

Moderate exchange rate fluctuations persist in the currency market. The dollar is gradually gaining value, although there is no sharp jump at the moment. The euro remains more volatile, as its exchange rate is influenced not only by the situation in Ukraine but also by the dynamics of the euro/dollar pair in global markets.

Several key factors continue to influence the hryvnia exchange rate:

• the situation on the front lines;
• the volume of international financial aid;
• demand for foreign currency from businesses and the public;
• import payments;
• the National Bank’s policy;
• market participants’ expectations.
