And against the dollar, the Ukrainian currency, conversely, is strengthening.
The National Bank of Ukraine set for Friday, 21 August, the hryvnia-to-euro exchange rate at 52,13. This marks a historic high: never before had the euro, the single European currency, required so many hryvnias for one unit.
The previous anti-record was recorded on 16 June, when 1 euros cost 52 hryvnias and 4 kopecks. This was the only documented instance when the rate crossed the psychological mark of 52 hryvnias. After peaking through the summer, the euro's value remained more-or-less stable.
In contrast, the Ukrainian currency shows positive dynamics against the dollar. On Thursday the rate shaved off 7 kopecks, and on Friday the NBU lowered it by another 9, to 44 hryvnias plus 61 kopecks per unit.
According to LB.ua, President Volodymyr Zelensky considered replacing the head of the National Bank, Andriy Pyshny, but as of now such discussion is not being conducted.
