Ukraine's Central Bank Sets January 19th Exchange Rate: 43.41 Hryvnia to the Dollar.

Official Exchange Rates for January 19, 2026

According to Novyny.live: The National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) has published the official exchange rates for January 19, 2026. The regulator set the U.S. dollar rate at 43.41 hryvnias per dollar and the euro at 50.4372 hryvnias per euro. These rates are binding for all banking institutions in the country and are used for official financial settlements.

The euro rate was maintained at 50.4372 UAH per euro, representing a marginal decrease from the previous banking day's rate of 50.4375 UAH. Consequently, the National Bank has allowed the hryvnia to weaken by two kopiykas, a minor adjustment that reflects ongoing fluctuations in the currency market. These movements occur against the backdrop of Ukraine's continued economic challenges following the Russian invasion.

Economic Impact of Exchange Rate Fluctuations

The established exchange rates mirror the current dynamics of the foreign exchange market, including the hryvnia's volatility, which can stem from various domestic economic factors such as:

• Inflationary pressures
• Demand for foreign currency
• The overall domestic economic climate

It is important to note that shifts in the official exchange rates can significantly influence consumer prices and the business environment. Therefore, monitoring subsequent updates from the National Bank of Ukraine is crucial for financial planning.
