IMF Updates Dollar Exchange Rate Forecast: When Will the Hryvnia Reach 50.
According to inkorr.com: The International Monetary Fund (IMF) has revised its forecasts for the exchange rate of the Hryvnia against the dollar, believing that the American currency will only surpass the psychological mark of 50 Hryvnias in 2029. These changes were published in the October World Economic Outlook report for 2025. RBC-Ukraine reports on this. Analysts note that the annual average exchange rate of the Hryvnia will remain relatively stable in the medium term, and the pace of devaluation will be gradual.

2025 — 42.3 UAH per dollar (previously forecasted 42.5);
-
2026 — 45.4 UAH (in the April report — 45.6);
-
2027 — 47.5 UAH (the forecast remained unchanged);
-
2028 — 48.7 UAH (previously 48.9);
-
2029 — 50.0 UAH (against previous 50.1);
-
2030 — 51.3 UAH (instead of 50.6).

In 2025, the government plans to budget an annual average dollar exchange rate of 45 UAH, but the new IMF calculations indicate a potential stability of the Hryvnia within the range of 42.4 UAH per dollar.
