At exchange offices in Ukraine throughout the day, the dollar rate rose to 39.87 UAH/dollar.
Why the dollar is more expensive
Since then, the hryvnia has devalued to the dollar by more than 4%. According to the expert and the big head for the National Bank Bogdan Danylyshyn, the reason is the unbalancing of foreign currency exchange on the market.
On the 22nd quarter of 2024, the NBU sold 7.4 billion dollars to the interbank bank, and the previous year net sales China's currencies were abnormally high, as a result of the dynamics of the first quarter. The growth of the popu for a dollar is important tied to the pressure on the side of the population. Ukrainians gained 2.5 billion dollars in the first quarter, which is twice as much as in the same period in 2023.
In addition, Ukrainian banks will continue to increase their external assets, which have increased in the first and three months of 2024 for 1 billion dollars .
