Dollar price in the Dominican Republic this Thursday, October 16, 2025

The Central Bank of the Dominican Republic published the reference prices for the purchase and sale of the US dollar for this Thursday, October 16, 2025, as follows:

Purchase: RD$63.04

Sale: RD$63.70

The foreign exchange market closed the previous day showing the continuation of the dollar's appreciation trend against the local currency, according to data from the Central Bank and the survey of Remittance Agents and Financial Entities.

The analysis of the percentage variation of the exchange rate (calculated using reciprocals to ensure consistency) confirms a sustained trend towards the depreciation of the local currency, which translates into an increase in the price of the dollar.

The window sale rates show a depreciation of the Dominican peso against the dollar of more than 5% in the year-on-year comparison, both for Financial Entities (-5.31%) and for Remittance and Exchange Agents (-5.32%). The purchase rate also reflects this increase in the dollar's price, with a depreciation of more than 5% compared to a year ago (-5.06% and -5.09% respectively.
