Today, January 15, the National Bank of Ukraine again weakened the hryvnia and set new record highs for the official exchange rate for January 16: the dollar reached 43.3927 UAH/$ (up 27 kopecks from yesterday), and the euro 50.4375 UAH/€ (up 17 kopecks).
This is shown by data on the regulator’s website.
These are new all-time highs. And for the euro they could have been even higher if the global EUR/USD rate had not slipped today from 1.1656 to 1.1619.
43.3927 UAH/$ was the average price in today’s trading on the interbank foreign exchange market (Bloomberg). The maximum reached 43.585 UAH/$, while the minimum dipped to 43.29 UAH/$.
At the same time, currency demand declined: trading volume on Bloomberg fell from $273.5 million yesterday to $231.2 million. This continues to support the version that the National Bank is carrying out a managed devaluation of the hryvnia in order to convert international aid for Ukraine at a more advantageous hryvnia rate.
The NBU is operating under a previously tested pattern: after the first round of devaluation, it pauses and fixes the rate for a couple of days (sometimes there is a slight pullback), and then the foreign currency becomes more expensive again.
As a reminder, last week the dollar rose to a record level and the euro exchange rate exceeded 50 hryvnias.
