PLN/UAH: what to know
The PLN/UAH rate shows how much UAH you get for 1 PLN. Right now, 1 PLN buys 11.9237 UAH at the mid-market rate. In the other direction, 1 UAH is worth 0.0839 PLN.
In the short term PLN is driven mainly by NBP policy, EU flows and regional sentiment, while UAH responds to the economic situation and international support.
The Polish Zloty (PLN) is issued by National Bank of Poland (NBP). “Złoty” literally means “golden”, a name dating back to medieval gold coins. 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.
For anyone in Poland, this is the mid-market reference to compare against your bank or kantor before exchanging. 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.
