This transition is linked to the increase in trade and financial operations involving the hryvnia and euro, the growing volume of exports and imports with European countries, and a steady rise in remittances from Ukrainians working abroad.
Despite the anticipated shift to the euro, the US dollar continues to enjoy considerable trust among Ukrainians, reflecting its historical stability and long-standing dominance in global markets.
Moreover, recent geopolitical events have strengthened the dollar's position as the leading reserve currency, further enhancing its appeal in Ukraine.
While the role of the euro in Ukraine's economy is expanding, the dollar remains deeply entrenched in the financial habits of the population, highlighting its enduring significance during this transitional period.
It is also noted that the transition from the dollar to the euro will not affect ordinary Ukrainians. According to Andrey Nikolaenko, this shift aligns with logical economic objectives but does not directly accelerate the process of integration into the European Union.
