PHP vs Dollar & World’s Top Currencies (February 20, 2026)

PHP vs Dollar & World’s Top Currencies (February 20, 2026)

The numbers are in.

And today, the Philippine peso is standing at ₱57.964 to $1 — based on the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) Reference Exchange Rate Bulletin.

It’s steady… but the global currency battlefield is always moving.

Let’s break down what’s happening — simply, clearly — and what it means when the peso faces the world’s strongest currencies.


🇺🇸 PHP vs U.S. Dollar (USD)

$1 = ₱57.964

This is the anchor.
The benchmark.
The rate most Filipinos watch every day.

BSP Reference Rate: ₱58.000
Buying Rate: ₱57.750
Selling Rate: ₱58.250

The peso is hovering just below ₱58 — stable, but sensitive to global pressures.


🇪🇺 PHP vs Euro (EUR)

€1 = ₱68.2526

The euro remains stronger than the dollar.

At over ₱68 per euro, imports from Europe cost more — while OFWs earning euros send home stronger remittances.


🇬🇧 PHP vs British Pound (GBP)

£1 = ₱78.0717

The pound stands tall.

Nearly ₱78 for one pound — one of the strongest major currencies today.

For Filipinos in the UK, that exchange rate means powerful remittance value.


🇨🇭 PHP vs Swiss Franc (CHF)

₣1 = ₱74.7923

The Swiss franc continues to show strength, often seen as a “safe haven” currency during global uncertainty.


🇨🇦 PHP vs Canadian Dollar (CAD)

C$1 = ₱42.3745

Canada remains a major destination for Filipino workers.

At over ₱42 per Canadian dollar, remittances remain solid.


🇦🇺 PHP vs Australian Dollar (AUD)

A$1 = ₱40.9110

The Aussie dollar trades above ₱40 — steady, supported by commodity markets.


🇸🇬 PHP vs Singapore Dollar (SGD)

S$1 = ₱45.7201

Singapore’s currency remains one of Asia’s strongest.

At nearly ₱46 per SGD, it reflects the city-state’s economic resilience.


🇨🇳 PHP vs Chinese Yuan (CNY)

¥1 = ₱8.3965

China remains a major trading partner.

The yuan stays below ₱9 — important for trade flows between Manila and Beijing.


🇯🇵 PHP vs Japanese Yen (JPY)

¥1 = ₱0.3740

The yen remains relatively weak compared to other major currencies.

But Japan continues to play a critical role in trade and investments.


🇰🇷 PHP vs Korean Won (KRW)

₩1 = ₱0.0400

The won remains modest in peso terms — yet South Korea remains an influential economic partner.


🇦🇪 PHP vs UAE Dirham (AED)

1 AED = ₱15.7828

With thousands of OFWs in the UAE, this rate matters deeply.

Nearly ₱16 per dirham means remittances remain meaningful for families back home.


🇸🇦 PHP vs Saudi Riyal (SAR)

1 SAR = ₱15.4546

Closely pegged to the U.S. dollar, the riyal mirrors dollar movements.


🇧🇭 PHP vs Bahrain Dinar (BHD)

1 BHD = ₱153.7833

One of the strongest currencies in the world.

Over ₱153 for one dinar — a powerful exchange rate for Filipino workers there.


🇳🇿 PHP vs New Zealand Dollar (NZD)

NZ$1 = ₱34.6045

Stable, moderate — reflecting global commodity trends.


🇲🇾 PHP vs Malaysian Ringgit (MYR)

1 MYR = ₱14.8435

An important ASEAN partner, the ringgit trades below ₱15 today.


What Does This Mean for Filipinos?

The peso is currently:

  • Stable near ₱58 per dollar

  • Weaker against major Western currencies like the euro and pound

  • Competitive within Asia

  • Strongly influenced by global oil, trade, and geopolitical tensions

Gold is buying at $4,990.65, and silver at $78.00 — reflecting continued global demand for safe assets.

Meanwhile, the SDR rate stands at $1.37373 per SDR, another indicator of global currency movements.


The takeaway?

The peso is holding its ground — but every movement in Washington, Europe, the Middle East, or Asia can shift these numbers overnight.

For OFWs, businesses, travelers, and investors — today’s rates matter.

Because behind every decimal point…

Is a real impact on real lives.
