How Does This Affect You?

Understanding the exchange rate helps us plan for travel or invest in goods from other countries. If you want to buy things from abroad, knowing how much your peso is worth will help you decide how much money you need. Strong currencies like the pound or Bahrain dinar mean it’s more expensive to buy from those countries.

For example, if you travel to the United States, you’ll need more pesos because 1 US dollar is worth ₱56.85. But if you go to Thailand, you’ll need fewer pesos since 1 Thai baht is worth just ₱1.65.

Why Are Exchange Rates Important?

Exchange rates also affect businesses and how much it costs to import or export things. A stronger peso means it’s easier for us to buy things from other countries. But a weaker peso makes it harder because we need more pesos to buy the same items.
