Ecuador and Panama, having the US dollar as their official currency, do not present exchange rate variations. In Costa Rica, Honduras, Paraguay, Uruguay, Nicaragua and Guyana, the exchange rate remains relatively stable. In Haiti, where there is strong informal dollarization, the dollar continues to have a dominant weight in the local economy. In Cuba, the exchange rate is controlled by the State and is not freely published.
