These prices are used exclusively for accounting purposes and are not binding for purchase and sale transactions. It is important to understand that these are indicative figures and not fixed rates.<\/p>\n<h3>Official Exchange Rate of Hryvnia to Foreign Currencies and SDR from the NBU<\/h3>\n<p>The NBU daily sets the official exchange rate of the hryvnia to foreign currencies and special drawing rights (SDR). These rates are used for accounting, NBU transactions with the State Treasury, and other cases stipulated by law. It is worth remembering that the NBU is not obliged to buy or sell currency at these rates.<\/p>\n<h3>Amendments to the Procedure for Using Funds for Inland Waterways<\/h3>\n<p>The government has amended the procedure for using budget funds allocated to support inland waterways. Now, funds can be used for the repair and maintenance of strategic infrastructure facilities of inland water transport, as well as the preparation and implementation of public investment projects for the construction and reconstruction of strategic infrastructure facilities of inland water transport.

Generators, batteries, accumulators, bicycles, computer equipment, textbooks and stationery have been added. The amount of compensation for treatment and rehabilitation expenses has been increased from 50 to 100 times the subsistence minimum. These changes will allow more people to receive assistance without paying taxes.<\/p>\n<p>### Ratification of the Agreement between Ukraine and the United States on cooperation in the use of information on travelers<\/p>\n<p>The Cabinet of Ministers submitted to the Verkhovna Rada an agreement between Ukraine and the United States on cooperation in the use of information on travelers.
