The banking sector of Ukraine is in a state of expectation of significant changes in the exchange rate of the cash dollar in the coming week. Experts' forecasts indicate that we may face some depreciation of the dollar when buying it, but the selling price may rise. According to the forecast, from March 25 to 31 this year, the dollar exchange rate will fluctuate in the range from 38,5 to 40 hryvnias. This phenomenon causes increased interest and discussion in the banking environment. "Obozrevatel" writes about it.
At this time, the average exchange rate of the dollar in banks, according to data from March 21, was 38,8/39,3 UAH (buying/selling), while in exchange offices it was slightly lower and amounted to 38,71/39,16 UAH. The head of Globus Bank's treasury department, Taras Lisovyi, shares his forecasts, noting that the difference between the buying and selling rates can be from 80 kopecks to 1 hryvnia.
Bank exchange rates are regularly updated daily, with changes expected to be within 30 kopecks at banks and up to 50 kopecks at exchange offices. However, despite this, the dollar cash market remains stable for now.
The National Bank continues regular updates of the official exchange rate, which on March 22 amounted to UAH 38,92, 22 kopecks lower than the previous level. According to the deputy head of the regulator Serhiy Nikolaychuk, such changes in the rate are a normal phenomenon in conditions of managed flexibility. The NBU warned about the possibility of such changes.
It is interesting how the market and banks will react to these changes in the near future. It is important that citizens and businesses remain calm and adapt to new conditions that may arise due to changes in the exchange rate of cash.
