Official Foreign Exchange Rates for June 16, 2026
On June 16, 2026, the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) published its official currency exchange rates. The U.S. dollar gained one kopiyka from the previous day, settling at 44.82 Ukrainian hryvnias. The euro was quoted at 52.04 hryvnias, while the Polish zloty reached 12.26 hryvnias. Over the week from June 9 to June 16, the hryvnia showed a weakening trend: the U.S. dollar rose by approximately 30 kopiykas, the euro climbed by more than 68 kopiykas, and the Polish zloty increased by 1.26%.
The NBU’s official rate for the U.S. dollar on June 16, 2026, stands at 44.8177 hryvnias, the euro at 52.0378 hryvnias, the British pound at 60.1633 hryvnias, the Polish zloty at 12.2590 hryvnias, and the Swiss franc at 56.4988 hryvnias. Meanwhile, commercial banks offer different rates. At Oschadbank, the dollar buy rate is 44.70 hryvnias and the sell rate is 45.05 hryvnias, while the euro is traded at 51.90/52.40 hryvnias. At PrivatBank, the dollar is quoted at 44.55/45.04 hryvnias, and the euro at 51.58/52.35 hryvnias.
Currency Market Trends
The NBU’s board has decided to keep the key policy rate at 15%. Inflation has recently started to rise after a period of slowdown, which could influence future exchange rate movements. According to economist Vitaliy Shapran,
“the dollar cannot remain weak against the euro forever, and as soon as a final trade agreement is signed between the U.S. and the EU, the market will return to normal.”
Overall, the exchange rates as of 9:10 a.m. on June 16, 2026, reflect changes that occurred in the currency market over the week, during which the hryvnia experienced a depreciation trend.
The rise in foreign currency rates, particularly the U.S. dollar and the euro, indicates continued pressure on the hryvnia, likely linked to domestic economic factors such as rising inflation. The currency market situation could shift if new trade agreements are signed, which experts predict might stabilize the exchange rate and improve the country’s economic conditions.
