Ukraine's Currency Exchange Rate Forecast for Late January 2026
On January 11, 2026, Taras Lesovyi, Director of the Treasury Operations Department at Globus Bank, published a currency forecast for the end of January. According to the forecast, Ukraine's annual inflation rate fell to 8% in December, which the expert believes indicates stable currency expectations.
"The forecast for January also does not anticipate a significant acceleration of inflation, which is important for currency expectations," Lesovyi noted.
Exchange Rates for Cash and Interbank Markets
On the cash market, the US dollar is expected to fluctuate within a range of 42.50 to 43.50 hryvnias, while the euro will cost between 49.00 and 50.50 hryvnias. On the interbank market, the projected dollar rate is in the range of 42.75 to 43.25 hryvnias, with the euro also expected to be between 49.00 and 50.50 hryvnias. The spread between the buying and selling rates for the dollar at bank cash desks is forecast to be 0.5-0.6 hryvnias, and at exchange offices, 0.6-1 hryvnia. For the euro, the spread at bank cash desks will be 0.8-1 hryvnia, and at exchange offices, 1-1.3 hryvnias.
The forecasted range for the euro-dollar pair on the international market for the period from January 26 to February 1 is expected to be 1.155 to 1.17 dollars per euro. These projections for Ukraine's currency are being closely watched by businesses and individuals engaged in international trade or remittances. This information confirms a general trend of stability in the currency market and may be useful for those planning to conduct currency transactions in the near future.
Stable inflation and the projected exchange rates may indicate a degree of economic recovery in Ukraine. The decrease in the annual inflation rate to 8% is a positive signal for investors and businesses, as it reduces uncertainty regarding currency operations. However, it is important to monitor further economic indicators that could impact the currency market and the overall economic situation in the country.
