Today, the Philippine peso wakes up at ₱57.721 to $1.

That number may look ordinary.

But behind it is a story — of global pressure, regional competition, and how the peso stacks up against the world’s strongest currencies.

Here’s what’s happening right now.

🇵🇭 PHP vs 🇺🇸 US Dollar

$1 = ₱57.721

The dollar remains firm.

With the BSP reference rate at ₱57.750, the peso is trading in a tight range.
Buying rate: ₱57.500
Selling rate: ₱58.000

This tells us one thing: the dollar is still king in global trade — and the peso continues to feel its weight.

The Top 15 Currencies: How the Peso Compares

Let’s look at how much one unit of the world’s strongest currencies is worth in Philippine pesos today.

🇪🇺 Euro (EUR)

€1 = ₱67.9607

The euro is stronger than the dollar — and significantly stronger than the peso.
Europe’s shared currency continues to hold ground, keeping the PHP under pressure.

🇬🇧 British Pound (GBP)

£1 = ₱77.8714

The pound remains one of the most powerful currencies globally.
At nearly ₱78 per pound, it’s a reminder of the UK’s enduring financial strength.

🇨🇭 Swiss Franc (CHF)

1 CHF = ₱74.6135

Safe-haven currency.
Investors run to the Swiss franc during uncertainty — and today, it stands firm.

🇧🇭 Bahrain Dinar (BHD)

1 BHD = ₱153.1386

Yes — ₱153 for one dinar.
Among the strongest currencies in the world, driven by oil wealth and a dollar peg.

🇸🇦 Saudi Riyal (SAR)

1 SAR = ₱15.3869

Tied closely to oil markets and the US dollar, the riyal remains stable — important for millions of OFWs sending money home.

🇦🇪 UAE Dirham (AED)

1 AED = ₱15.7192

Another key OFW currency.
Steady. Reliable. Pegged to the dollar.

🇨🇳 Chinese Yuan (CNY)

1 CNY = ₱8.3882

China remains a major trading partner of the Philippines.
The yuan’s movement directly impacts imports, exports, and regional trade.

🇯🇵 Japanese Yen (JPY)

1 JPY = ₱0.3703

The yen remains weak compared to its historic highs.
A softer yen often signals Japan’s prolonged economic adjustments.

🇸🇬 Singapore Dollar (SGD)

1 SGD = ₱45.5788

One of Asia’s strongest currencies.
Singapore’s financial stability keeps its dollar resilient against the peso.

🇨🇦 Canadian Dollar (CAD)

1 CAD = ₱42.1352

Commodity-driven. Oil-sensitive.
The CAD remains moderately strong.

🇦🇺 Australian Dollar (AUD)

1 AUD = ₱40.7222

Often tied to global commodity demand, the Aussie dollar stays competitive.

🇧🇳 Brunei Dollar (BND)

1 BND = ₱45.3996

Nearly identical to the Singapore dollar due to their currency agreement.

🇹🇭 Thai Baht (THB)

1 THB = ₱1.8584

A key ASEAN comparison.
The baht remains relatively stable in the region.

🇰🇷 South Korean Won (KRW)

1 KRW = ₱0.0401

Small in unit value — but powerful in trade influence, especially in electronics and manufacturing.

🇮🇳 Indian Rupee (INR)

1 INR = ₱0.6350

India’s fast-growing economy continues to expand its global role, though its currency remains modest versus the peso.

What Does This Mean for Filipinos?

For OFWs, exchange rates are everything.

A stronger dollar means bigger remittances when converted to pesos.

For importers, however, it means higher costs — fuel, goods, raw materials.

For travelers?
Europe and the UK remain expensive destinations.

For investors?
Gold is currently at $5,141.05
Silver at $87.05

Safe-haven assets remain elevated, reflecting cautious global sentiment.

The Bigger Picture

The peso at ₱57.721 per dollar signals relative stability — but still on the weaker side compared to past decades.

Globally, currencies tied to oil economies remain strong.
Safe-haven currencies like the Swiss franc hold firm.
Asian currencies show mixed signals.

And through it all, the Philippine peso stands resilient — navigating global currents, trade shifts, and economic transitions.

The numbers may change tomorrow.

But today — February 25, 2026 — this is where the peso stands against the world.
