The dollar continues to set historical records: the exchange rate to the hryvnia on January 19

According to the regulator, January 2026 has become a record month for the American currency - the dollar has already updated its maximum for the eighth consecutive time. The euro, meanwhile, maintains stability, showing no fluctuations over the past trading days.
Dollar exchange rate to the hryvnia on January 19: new maximum
According to the NBU's decision, the official currency rates for January 19 have been set at the following levels:
-
US dollar - 43.41 UAH (compared to 43.39 UAH as of January 16)
-
euro - 50.43 UAH (unchanged compared to January 16)
It is worth noting that the first historical maximum in 2026 for the dollar was recorded on January 6 at 42.42 UAH. Furthermore, the rate has been increasing almost daily: January 7 - up to 42.56 UAH, January 8 - up to 42.71 UAH, January 9 - up to 42.99 UAH.
Official euro rate and currency reserves
The European currency remains at the level of 50.43 UAH, unchanged against the backdrop of the dollar's growth. At the same time, the macro-financial background remains relatively stable. According to the NBU, Ukraine's international reserves increased by 30.8% during 2025 - to 57.3 billion dollars, marking the highest figure in the entire period of independence.
The growth of reserves partially mitigates the pressure on the currency market, but the dollar's record high indicates a continued high volatility.
It is important to remind that financial experts warn against impulsive currency purchases.
