The US dollar (USD) is currently valued at 435 Cuban pesos (CUP) on November 24, according to the latest figures from elTOQUE.
This exchange rate for the dollar underscores the intense strain on Cuba’s domestic economy, driven by a significant demand for foreign currency to cover everyday transactions and essential purchases.
Today, the euro (EUR) is being exchanged at 480 CUP, making it the strongest currency against the Cuban peso. This elevated rate is largely due to the interest from individuals traveling to or conducting business with European nations.
Meanwhile, the Freely Convertible Currency (MLC) has risen to 235 CUP, marking a five-peso increase from the previous day. Although its rate is lower than that of the dollar and euro, the MLC continues to play a crucial role in transactions within state-run stores that operate in foreign currencies.
