The euro is one of the most widely used currencies for international settlements. Because Ukraine's economy can be unstable, many Ukrainians choose euros to hold personal savings.

What moves the euro rate

Cash euro rates shift slightly even within a single day despite the currency's relative stability. To understand today's euro sell price, watch several factors that directly affect the rate:

• The euro sell rate depends first on European Central Bank policy, which guides inflation and interest rates.
• The euro price in Kyiv reflects economic conditions across eurozone countries.
• EUR cross rates against other currencies are leading indicators that help forecast euro behaviour — worth watching if you save in euros.
• EU political decisions affect global demand for the currency and therefore the euro buy rate.
• National Bank of Ukraine policy aims to stabilise the domestic economy.
