The US dollar is experiencing its worst moment globally in over 50 years. Between January and June 2025, the currency has fallen by more than 10% against the major currencies of the world, but what is the situation of the dollar in Cuba?

In recent weeks, the U.S. dollar has experienced a slow but steady increase in the Cuban informal market.

June began at 370 CUP, and in a calm process - peso by peso and with few setbacks - it has risen to 385 CUP, a price that remains this Thursday after reaching it on July 2 following a sudden increase of three units.

Increase that could be associated with the signing by Donald Trump of a memorandum that tightens the economic embargo and restricts transactions with entities controlled by the Cuban regime, especially those linked to the military conglomerate GAESA.

Exchange Rate Evolution

In addition to the dollar, this Thursday, the euro also remains unchanged at 425 CUP; and the Freely Convertible Currency (MLC), which stays at 250.
