HUF/UAH: what to know
The HUF/UAH rate shows how much UAH you get for 1 HUF. Right now, 1 HUF buys 0.1418 UAH at the mid-market rate. In the other direction, 1 UAH is worth 7.0530 HUF.
In the short term HUF is driven mainly by Hungarian central-bank policy and regional sentiment, while UAH responds to the economic situation and international support.
The Hungarian Forint (HUF) is issued by Hungarian National Bank. The forint is named after the gold florin of Florence. The Ukrainian Hryvnia (UAH) is issued by National Bank of Ukraine. The name “hryvnia” comes from a medieval silver weight unit used in Kievan Rus.
Use this mid-market figure as your benchmark: compare it with the rate your bank or broker quotes, and the difference is the margin you would pay.
