Peso vs World: Top 15 Currencies Today — December 24, 2025

As Christmas Day unfolds, the Philippine peso (PHP) continues to move against major global currencies, reflecting how the country stands in today’s international market.

Based on the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) Reference Exchange Rate Bulletin dated December 23, 2025, here’s a clear and simple look at how the peso compares with the world’s top 15 currencies — and what it means for Filipinos.

PHP vs US Dollar: The Global Benchmark

The US dollar (USD) remains the world’s strongest reference currency.

• $1 = ₱58.68
  This means Filipinos need nearly ₱59 to buy one dollar — a key rate that affects fuel prices, imports, and overseas remittances.
