Pound vs hryvnia dynamics

Since 2022 the pound has strengthened against the hryvnia by 30–40% — partly due to hryvnia depreciation, partly due to UK economic recovery after Brexit volatility. The pound remains a serious savings currency, though less popular with Ukrainian savers than dollar or euro.
