The official value of the American currency exceeded the 45.2 hryvnia mark
The National Bank of Ukraine has set the official dollar exchange rate for October 26 at 45.2021 UAH, marking a new all-time high. The euro has also appreciated significantly, approaching its own record values. This was reported by Minfin, according to the portal PromPolitInform.
The figure set for Monday exceeds the previous record recorded on October 14 by approximately 12 kopecks. The official exchange rate change is 15.11 kopecks compared to the previous banking day.
Market currency indicators
In the interbank market, the actual value of the American currency exceeds the regulator’s official figures. As of 3:00 PM on October 23, interbank quotes reached 45.38 UAH for buying and 45.42 UAH for selling, while in some currency exchange offices the rate rose to the 45.60 UAH mark.
Similar dynamics are observed for the European currency. For October 26, the official euro exchange rate is set at 50.5766 UAH, which is 14.16 kopecks higher than the previous figure. Despite not setting a new historical maximum, the euro is currently holding near its highest values.
Hryvnia dynamics throughout the year
The official reference exchange rate of the hryvnia to the dollar, which the NBU calculates at 12:00 PM, also updated its low, recording a value of 45.1604 UAH per dollar on October 23. Since the beginning of 2026, the national currency has weakened against the dollar by approximately 6.7%.
For comparison, at the end of 2025, the total decline in the official hryvnia exchange rate was only 0.8%. It is important to note that the NBU’s official rates are used primarily for accounting and calculations defined by law, but do not set mandatory rules for commercial banks regarding pricing during actual foreign exchange operations.
