MANILA, PHILIPPINES — The Philippine peso remains relatively steady against the world’s major currencies as of November 21, 2025, according to the latest bulletin from the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP). Traders, investors, and everyday Filipinos can now gauge how their peso stacks up against the top international currencies.

Here’s a look at the Philippine peso against the top 15 currencies:

1. US Dollar (USD) – PHP 59.0660 per dollar. The dollar remains the benchmark for global trade, and the peso shows stability with only minor fluctuations this week.

2. Japanese Yen (JPY) – PHP 0.3751 per yen. The yen remains strong for Asia-Pacific trade, though the peso maintains a favorable exchange for Filipino investors.

3. British Pound (GBP) – PHP 77.2347 per pound. The pound remains one of the most valuable currencies, reflecting the strength of the UK economy post-Brexit adjustments.

4. Hong Kong Dollar (HKD) – PHP 7.5889 per HKD. Pegged closely to the US dollar, the HKD continues to offer predictability for trade and remittances.

5. Swiss Franc (CHF) – PHP 73.3193 per franc. Known for its safe-haven status, the Swiss franc remains high, reflecting stability amidst global uncertainties.

6. Canadian Dollar (CAD) – PHP 41.9027 per CAD. The peso shows a healthy position against the CAD, with Canada’s commodity-driven economy influencing exchange rates.

7. Singapore Dollar (SGD) – PHP 45.1678 per SGD. The strong Asian currency continues to attract Filipino investors and overseas workers.

8. Australian Dollar (AUD) – PHP 38.0208 per AUD. Commodity-driven fluctuations impact the peso-to-AUD rate, but stability persists in the short term.

9. Bahrain Dinar (BHD) – PHP 156.6779 per dinar. The dinar remains the strongest currency in this top 15 list, reflecting the region’s oil-driven wealth.

10. Saudi Riyal (SAR) – PHP 15.7497 per riyal. Linked closely to the US dollar, the riyal continues to be stable for remittance-heavy exchanges.

11. Brunei Dollar (BND) – PHP 44.9958 per BND. Another Asian strong currency, the Brunei dollar remains consistent with Singapore’s economic alignment.

12. Indonesian Rupiah (IDR) – PHP 0.0035 per rupiah. Despite being a weaker currency, it remains crucial for regional trade and investments.

13. Thai Baht (THB) – PHP 1.8202 per baht. Tourism and trade support the baht, keeping it relatively strong against the peso.

15. Kuwaiti Dinar (KWD) – Not available in this bulletin, but historically one of the world’s highest-valued currencies.

The BSP also noted that the reference PHP rate against the US dollar is 59.050, with buying at 58.800 and selling at 59.300, showing marginal movement from the previous day. Gold and silver continue to hold high value, with gold at $4,078.40 per ounce and silver at $50.75 per ounce, highlighting the continued role of precious metals as safe-haven assets.

What this means for Filipinos:

• Those sending money abroad or receiving remittances can take comfort in the peso’s stability against major currencies.

• Travelers and exporters should monitor the dollar and pound closely, as global shifts in trade and commodity prices could affect these rates.

• Investors can look to safe-haven currencies like the Swiss franc or gold for long-term stability.

Overall, the Philippine peso holds a steady position, showing resilience amidst global market uncertainties and giving Filipinos confidence in planning remittances, trade, and investments as we close in on the end of 2025.
