Official Foreign Exchange Rates for June 8, 2026
On the morning of Monday, June 8, 2026, the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) published the official exchange rates. Compared to Sunday, June 7, both the US dollar and the euro declined in value. The official rate for the dollar stands at 44.36 hryvnias, while the euro is set at 51.64 hryvnias. Rates for other currencies were also recorded:
- Polish zloty – 12.19 hryvnias

Currency Market Trends
During the first week of June 2026, most major foreign currencies showed a moderate rise against the Ukrainian hryvnia. Over the week, the British pound sterling increased by 31 kopiyok, while the Swiss franc was the only currency on the list to see the hryvnia strengthen against it by more than 30 kopiyok. The dollar and euro each gained roughly 8 to 9 kopiyok over the week, and the Polish zloty fluctuated by just +0.0027 hryvnias.
The NBU’s board decided to keep the key policy rate steady at 15%. Inflation, which had been steadily slowing from June 2025 through January 2026, has started to pick up again. The central bank also resolved to carry out an operation exchanging banks' non-cash foreign currency for cash.
As of 9:10 AM on June 8, 2026, exchange rates continue to track market shifts. Vitaliy Shapran noted that
“the dollar cannot remain weak against the euro forever, and once the final trade agreement between the US and the EU is signed, the market will return to normal.”This suggests that future currency rate movements may hinge on international economic deals and political decisions.
The decline in the dollar and euro may signal evolving economic conditions, particularly in the realms of international trade and inflationary trends within Ukraine. Holding the key rate at 15% also reflects the central bank’s cautious approach to hryvnia stability and inflation control. Looking ahead, currency market developments could be tied to external economic factors, such as the signing of agreements between the US and the EU, which may influence currency supply and demand.
