Strong currencies in Cuba remain on the rise, such as the US dollar, the Schengen zone euro, and even the virtual currency, the so-called Freely Convertible Currency (MLC), according to daily updates from the independent media El Toque. On average, the euro is still above the dollar, although both already exceed 200 Cuban pesos for a bill.
According to this report, the European currency has already been established at 210 Cuban pesos for a ticket, although there are some provinces where it exceeded that figure and others where it has not reached it, but on average, that is the number set by groups on social networks for buying and selling currency on the island. As in the world market, the euro is much better paid than the US dollar, although it is close.
Indeed, the US dollar continues to climb strongly, above 203 Cuban pesos, in some places above and in others below. But it is also on its way to reaching the euro or approaching the barrier of 210 Cuban pesos, surely in this week that has just begun, it will reach it. And the MLC? This currency that is used for stores with products in foreign currency, is being bought and sold on average over 190 Cuban pesos.
DOLLAR, EUROS AND OTHER CURRENCIES IN CUBAN BANKS
How do the entities of the Central Bank of Cuba (BCC) have the currencies? According to the official website, the American dollar remains at 120 pesos, while the euro has been trading for several weeks at 130 Cuban pesos, at the Banco Metropolitano it sells a little better, around 137 Cuban pesos. However, as logic indicates, those who visit the island with foreign currency still prefer the informal market.
Other foreign currencies and how is the exchange rate in Cuban banks: the Australian dollar is around 80 Cuban pesos, the pound sterling is around 152 Cuban pesos, the Mexican peso is almost seven Cuban pesos and the Canadian dollar is around 91 pesos cubans.
