Exchange rates as of March 25: The dollar and the euro have fallen in value
On Wednesday, March 25, the value of major foreign currencies at currency exchange offices began to decline, while banks, on the contrary, raised their rates.
While the cash dollar lost more than ten kopecks in value at exchange offices, the average rate at bank teller windows showed an increase, forcing buyers to choose more carefully where to conduct currency transactions.
