NBU Updates Currency Lists for Official Hryvnia Exchange Rates

On 28 April 2022, the NBU updated the lists of currencies for official hryvnia exchange rates. In particular:

• the Dominican peso and the new Taiwan dollar were added to the list of foreign currencies against which the NBU sets the official hryvnia exchange rate on a monthly basis
• the frequency of setting the official hryvnia exchange rate against the Azerbaijani manat was changed from monthly to daily while for the Saudi riyal it was changed from daily to monthly.

The lists are updated due to the changes in volumes of goods turnover of Ukraine with respective countries.
