The Central Bank of the Dominican Republic published the reference prices for the purchase and sale of the US dollar for this Wednesday, October 22, 2025, as follows:
Purchase: RD$63.66
Sale: RD$64.17
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 Institutions.
The over-the-counter selling 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 buying 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.
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.
