Zlotys, kronor, and pounds. Does it make sense to invest in foreign currencies other than the dollar and the euro?

The idea of diversifying your currency portfolio sounds attractive. Especially when the dollar and euro are experiencing instability. But is it realistic for Ukrainians to earn money by investing in "exotic" currencies such as zlotys, forints or Swedish kronor?

Experts warn that despite the possibility of opening accounts in a number of currencies, investing in them is more theory than practice.

What foreign currencies do Ukrainians buy

In response to a request from LIGA.net , the National Bank reported that the total share of other currencies in terms of purchases and sales is only 2.5%.

For example, in the entire year of 2024, purchases by individuals of foreign currencies other than the dollar and euro accounted for only 2.43%.
