The National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) has updated its currency rates for March 30, 2026, reducing the official exchange rate for the dollar and euro. The dollar’s value has decreased by 4 kopecks, bringing it to 43.84 UAH, while the euro has fallen by 13 kopecks to 50.48 UAH.
The NBU maintains over $50 billion in reserves and plans to utilize approximately $3 to $3.5 billion in April to stabilize market demand. This move comes as rising fuel prices, influenced by ongoing conflicts in the Middle East, are contributing to inflation rates projected between 0.8% and 1.2% for March.
Market fluctuations are expected, with daily variations in the interbank exchange rate potentially reaching 0.5 to 0.7 UAH. Despite these shifts, the NBU aims to keep the situation under control.
Looking ahead, analysts predict that the dollar could range between 43.75 and 44.50 UAH, while the euro may fluctuate between 49.5 and 52 UAH. The ongoing war and global market instability continue to pose risks to the stability of the hryvnia.
In summary, the NBU’s proactive measures and market interventions are crucial in navigating the economic challenges posed by external factors and domestic pressures.
The National Bank of Ukraine has lowered the official exchange rates for the dollar and euro as it prepares to intervene in the market to stabilize the hryvnia.
