Every day, millions of Filipinos feel the rise and fall of global currencies — especially those with loved ones working abroad, or buying goods that depend on imports.
Today, November 07, 2025, the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP) released the latest reference exchange bulletin… and it tells a story of strength, struggle, and shifting global power.
Let’s break it down — in a way that truly matters to you.
🇺🇸 US Dollar — Still King
-
1 USD = ₱58.888
The American Dollar remains strong — making imported goods more expensive, but better for OFWs in the US who send money home. Families get more pesos per dollar.
🇯🇵 Japanese Yen — A Soft Currency Today
-
1 JPY = ₱0.3847
The Yen continues its weak trend.
For OFWs, this means lower remittance value.
But for travelers? Japan trips are more affordable.
🇬🇧 British Pound — One of Today’s Winners
-
1 GBP = ₱77.3671
A stronger Pound is good news for OFWs and Filipino families in the UK.
More power for their hard-earned pounds!
🐉 Hong Kong Dollar & Swiss Franc — Solid & Strong
-
1 HKD = ₱7.5737
-
1 CHF = ₱73.0348
The Swiss Franc remains one of the world’s most stable currencies.
Great for Filipino workers in Switzerland — bigger value back home.
🍁 Canada, Singapore & Australia — Good Remittance Currencies
-
CAD = ₱41.7172
-
SGD = ₱45.1907
-
AUD = ₱38.1418
These currencies continue to provide strong support for Filipino families relying on remittances from these regions.
Small movements — but still stable.
🕌 Middle Eastern Giants: Bahrain, Kuwait & Saudi Arabia
-
Bahrain Dinar = ₱156.2099 ✅ Strongest on the list
-
Kuwait Dinar = N/A (update not available today)
-
Saudi Riyal = ₱15.7035
Filipinos in the Middle East remain a huge backbone for the Philippine economy.
Their currency strength = bigger purchasing power for their families.
🌏 Southeast Asia Snapshot
-
Brunei Dollar = ₱45.0180
-
Indonesian Rupiah = ₱0.0035
-
Thai Baht = ₱1.8181
Brunei matches Singapore closely — still a reliable currency.
Meanwhile, Rupiah continues to be very low in value.
🕌 UAE Dirham — A Big Boost for OFWs in Dubai
-
1 AED = ₱16.0331
Dubai-based Filipinos continue to help their families fight inflation with a strong currency behind them.
⭐ The Peso’s Standing Today
| Rate Type | Exchange Level |
|---|---|
| BSP Buying | ₱58.700 |
| BSP Selling | ₱59.200 |
| BSP Reference | ₱58.950 |
| PDS Closing | ₱58.940 |
➡️ Overall: The peso is still under pressure, mostly because the US dollar is strong globally.
Quick Emotional Summary ❤️
When the peso is weak…
✅ OFWs win — families receive more pesos
❌ Consumers lose — imported products get more expensive
It’s a balancing act, and each Filipino feels it differently.
