The dollar threatens once again to reach RD$64 for one

The selling price of the US dollar against the Dominican peso has risen 192 points in the last month, going from RD$61.95 since September 17th to RD$63.87 on October 17th.

On September 8th, the North American currency reached a cost of RD$64.13 per one, which generated concern among the productive sectors and forced the Central Bank to take measures to stop it.

Slightly, but consistently, the US currency has been gaining value in recent weeks, after a considerable drop in its price last September, after having reached its highest level so far this year.

According to the Macroeconomic Expectations Survey conducted monthly by the Central Bank, analysts place the exchange rate at RD$64.00 per dollar for the end of 2025.

This projection implies a year-on-year depreciation of 4.35%, thus returning to the levels expected at the beginning of the year.

Experts attribute this dynamic to four main factors: monetary policy decisions, the performance of foreign currency-generating sectors, the recent evolution of the demand for foreign currency, and the conditions of the international environment.

Furthermore, analysts anticipate a year-on-year depreciation of 4.05% in 12 months and 5.12% in 24 months, both values higher than those recorded in the September survey.

These projections place the exchange rate, on average, at RD$66.03 for October 2026 and at RD$69.42 for October 2027.
