It is important to note that the NBU is not obligated to buy or sell these metals at the indicated prices.<\/p>\n<p>For those interested in investing in banking metals or keeping records of transactions with them, the key is understanding that these accounting prices are indicative and may differ from market prices.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>On the Official Exchange Rate of the Hryvnia Against Foreign Currencies<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>This document is an official notification from the National Bank of Ukraine (NBU) regarding the established official exchange rates of the hryvnia against foreign currencies and special drawing rights (SDRs) for a specific date – September 9, 2025.<\/p>\n<p>The structure of the document is simple: it is a table that contains the numerical and letter codes of currencies, the number of currency\/SDR units, the name of the currency\/SDR, and the official exchange rate of the hryvnia for each of them.

This means that the official hryvnia exchange rate set by the NBU is a guideline, but does not guarantee the possibility of exchanging currency at this rate on the market.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>On Adoption as a Basis of the Draft Law of Ukraine on Amendments to the Criminal and Criminal Procedure Codes of Ukraine Regarding Liability for Committing Criminal Offenses Related to Unauthorized Abandonment of a Military Unit or Place of Service Under Martial Law<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Good day!
