Economic Forecast: Dollar exchange rate expected to climb to 46 hryvnias by the end of the year

According to the estimates of economist and former presidential advisor, Oleg Ustenko, the dollar exchange rate in Ukraine is expected to rise by the end of 2026 to a level of about 46 hryvnias. Ustenko made these remarks in an interview with the program 'Вечір.LIVE'.

As reported in Новини.LIVE, Ustenko explained that the Ukrainian state budget is based on an average annual exchange rate of 45.5 hryvnias per dollar. In light of these figures, he predicts that since the rate was lower at the beginning of the year, it will gradually climb to reach the planned average target.

Similarly, the channel Батальйон «Монако» | Україна | Новини also noted Ustenko's forecast, according to which "the dollar exchange rate could rise to 46 hryvnias by the end of the year".

Ustenko emphasized that the exchange rate is a decisive factor in the execution of the state budget and directly affects the ability to finance Ukraine's security and defense needs during this complex period.
