📅 As of July 14, 2025, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) shared its latest Exchange Rate Bulletin—a daily list showing how much other countries’ money is worth when compared to the Philippine Peso (₱).
But something interesting is happening—some currencies are rising, others are falling, and Filipinos earning or spending in other countries are watching these numbers closely.
So… what’s going on with the Top 15 most watched currencies today?
🏆 Let’s Check the Top 15 Currencies vs. the Philippine Peso:
1️⃣ 🇺🇸 US Dollar (USD)
-
₱56.47 per $1
-
The most powerful currency in the world. It’s stable but slightly stronger than before. This means imported goods might stay pricey in pesos.
2️⃣ 🇯🇵 Japanese Yen (JPY)
-
₱0.38 per ¥1
-
Very low in value vs. the peso. A small drop means your peso goes farther in Japan, but not by much.
3️⃣ 🇬🇧 British Pound (GBP)
-
₱76.19 per £1
-
The pound is still very strong. If you’re sending money to the UK or buying from there—it’s expensive.
4️⃣ 🇭🇰 Hong Kong Dollar (HKD)
-
₱7.19 per HK$1
-
Still steady, not much change. Many OFWs watch this closely.
5️⃣ 🇨🇭 Swiss Franc (CHF)
-
₱70.86 per ₣1
-
Another strong currency. Switzerland’s money stays valuable even during global problems.
6️⃣ 🇨🇦 Canadian Dollar (CAD)
-
₱41.21 per CA$1
-
Weaker than the USD, but stable. May help Filipino families in Canada send more pesos home.
7️⃣ 🇸🇬 Singapore Dollar (SGD)
-
₱44.08 per S$1
-
Slowly strengthening. Filipino workers in Singapore may get more pesos for every dollar they send.
8️⃣ 🇦🇺 Australian Dollar (AUD)
-
₱37.06 per AU$1
-
Slightly weaker compared to past rates. Still a solid earning currency for OFWs in Australia.
9️⃣ 🇧🇭 Bahraini Dinar (BHD)

₱149.80 per BD1
-
One of the most valuable currencies in the world! OFWs in Bahrain earn a lot in pesos.
🔟 🇰🇼 Kuwaiti Dinar (KWD)

1️⃣1️⃣ 🇸🇦 Saudi Riyal (SAR)

Holding steady. Good news for the huge number of OFWs in Saudi Arabia.
1️⃣2️⃣ 🇧🇳 Brunei Dollar (BND)

-
Closely follows Singapore’s dollar; stable and valuable.
1️⃣3️⃣ 🇮🇩 Indonesian Rupiah (IDR)
-
₱0.0035 per Rp1
-
Very small in value. You need hundreds or thousands of Rupiah to match even one peso.
1️⃣4️⃣ 🇹🇭 Thai Baht (THB)
-
₱1.74 per ฿1
-
Slightly down. You’ll get more baht now for your peso if you’re traveling to Thailand.
1️⃣5️⃣ 🇦🇪 UAE Dirham (AED)
-
₱15.38 per AED1
-
Strong and steady. This is great news for OFWs in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.
📊 Why Do These Rates Matter?
-
If you’re an OFW, you want your foreign earnings to convert to more pesos—so a stronger foreign currency helps you send more value home.
-
If you’re importing goods or traveling, a weaker peso means you’ll pay more for things priced in USD, GBP, or EUR.
-
If you’re doing business with other countries, exchange rates can mean profit or loss.
🇵🇭 How Strong Is the Peso Right Now?
-
$1 = ₱56.47
-
This means the peso is slightly weaker compared to the dollar. This isn’t a collapse—but it shows the peso is still under pressure due to global inflation, war, oil prices, and other factors.
