The NBU also decided to conduct an operation to exchange banks' non-cash foreign currency for cash. These official rates are a key benchmark for the country's financial system.

The exchange rates set by the National Bank of Ukraine serve as a crucial indicator of the country's economic situation. As of March 20, 2026, the specific rates are as follows:

• US Dollar – 43.9617 UAH
• Euro – 50.5032 UAH

Commercial Bank Exchange Rates

Commercial banks in Ukraine offer their own exchange rates, which typically differ from the NBU's official figures. For example, Oschadbank set its dollar rate at 43.70/44.10 UAH (buy/sell) and the euro at 50.45/51.05 UAH. PrivatBank offers the dollar at 43.45/44.05 UAH and the euro at 50.1/51.1 UAH. At PUMB, the dollar rate is 43.60/44.20 UAH, and the euro is 50.30/51.00 UAH. Other major banks, including monobank, Raiffeisen, OTP Bank, and Ukrsibbank, also provide their own varying rates.

Vitaliy Shapran noted that 'the dollar cannot remain weak against the euro forever, and once a final trade deal is signed between the US and the EU, the market will return to a normal pattern.'

Adjustments to the official exchange rates by the NBU can impact the country's economic stability and the financial planning of both businesses and individuals. The market's reaction to external economic events, such as the potential signing of major trade agreements between economies like the US and the EU, is also significant, as these can lead to currency corrections. In an interconnected global economy, these factors are increasingly important for forecasting economic trends in Ukraine.

As the NBU continues to adjust its official rates, it's important to monitor the fluctuations in the market.
