Financial analyst predicted whether the exchange rate will cross the 45 hryvnia per dollar mark.

In 2021, the price of the dollar was constantly rising, and it may rise again next year. This is due to many factors, including the continuation of military actions.

Analyst Andriy Shevchishin noted in his column on 24 Channel that the dollar rate will also affect additional mobilization and shelling. Furthermore, it is still unclear what the policy of US President Donald Trump will be.

'Although the agreement with the West allows covering the planned budget deficit and funding programs for 2025, it is not postponed for the future,' the financial analyst notes.

Shevchishin emphasizes that according to market trends and model estimations, the dollar rate may reach 50 and could even be higher. This will happen due to the accumulation of imbalances.

'One should not forget about the factor of 'managed flexibility' and sufficient foreign currency reserves that allow to curb and mitigate such fluctuations,' Shevchishin stresses.
