In September 2026, Ukrainian banks may intensify competition for hryvnia deposits: average rates are forecast at 13.5–15%, while individual offers with bonuses could reach 17.5–18% per annum. Lending rates, meanwhile, may rise by 0.5–1 p.p.

The NBU's currency restrictions, in force since February 2022, have created a distortion: a Ukrainian resident cannot invest its own foreign-currency revenue abroad, while a company with a foreign holding does so through dividends. Experts propose introducing a controlled expansion limit.

Taras Lesovoy, an expert at Globus Bank, named four factors that will intensify pressure on Ukraine's foreign exchange market in September: imports, fuel, military risks, and inflation. The forecast dollar rate is 44.7–45.4 UAH.

Prime Minister Koretsky stated in the Verkhovna Rada that the Ministry of Finance has received an instruction to accelerate the sale of Sense Bank, but first, jointly with the NBU, must resolve accumulated problems. Proceeds from the deal will go to the needs of the Defense Forces, and a new head of "Naftogaz" will be selected through a transparent competition after the heating season.

On August 21, 2026, the NBU set the euro rate at a historical high of 52.13 UAH, while the dollar dropped to 44.61 UAH. The regulator also reminded that damaged foreign banknotes can be submitted for cashing at any bank.

US national debt has exceeded $40 trillion for the first time in history, doubling in nine years. Analysts disagree on the risks: from warnings of a debt crisis to arguments that default is unlikely.

The NBU set the official dollar rate for August 20 at 44.70 UAH, lowering it by 7 kopecks. The euro rose to 51.86 UAH. The regulator explains the maintenance of the managed float regime by a structural currency shortage against the backdrop of the war.

The NBU is conducting unprecedented interventions to maintain the exchange rate, but the structural deficit in the balance of payments is growing. Imports are overtaking exports, and the economy depends on international aid.
