Santo Domingo.- The US dollar rate has experienced a substantial reduction, and continues with a downward trend against the Dominican peso, reflecting the macroeconomic stability and the strengthening of the confidence of economic agents in the Dominican Republic, according to the reference exchange rate published by the Central Bank of the Dominican Republic (BCRD) for this Wednesday May 27 of 2026.
According to the monetary organization, the buying rate of the dollar was set at RD 58.0844 and the selling rate at RD 58.8939, both below RD 60 per unit.
According to economists, this behavior demonstrates the stability of the national exchange market and the effectiveness of the monetary and macroeconomic policies applied in the country.
The performance of the US currency occurs in a context of sustained economic dynamism, driven by the growth of tourism, the constant flow of remittances, the increase in foreign investment and the strengthening of exports. These factors have contributed to a greater availability of foreign currency and the stability of the financial system.
Furthermore, the Central Bank’s international reserves currently exceed USD 15,000 million.
