At 8:00 PM, local Cuban time, the informal currency market in Cuba concludes the day this Saturday, November 14, with the dollar on the rise and the euro unchanged compared to the previous day.
The Cuban peso continues to lose ground against foreign currencies in a market that operates outside the State's financial institutions. You can check the complete evolution of .
The U.S. dollar is priced at 915 Cuban pesos (CUP) at the end of this trading day, with a buying rate of 910 CUP and a selling rate of 920 CUP. This represents an increase of five CUP compared to the previous trading day, when the average value was 910 CUP. However, in the past week, the greenback has seen a decline of 17.50 CUP, as it was trading around 933 CUP seven days ago.
The 30-day comparison —which may partially reflect methodological adjustments to the index— shows an increase of 117.5 CUP from the 798 CUP recorded in mid-October, with a maximum of 940 CUP and a minimum of 798 CUP during that period. The demand for dollars remains high among those looking to protect their savings against the depreciation of the peso.
The euro closes stable at 988 CUP, with a buying rate of 975 CUP and a selling rate of 1,000 CUP. It remains unchanged compared to the previous day, although over the past week it has decreased by 22.50 CUP from the 1,010 CUP it was at seven days ago.
On the monthly horizon —with the same methodological caution—, the European currency has accumulated an increase of 92.50 CUP compared to 895 CUP 30 days ago, with a maximum of 1,010 CUP and a minimum of 895 CUP during that period. It asserts itself as the most expensive currency in the Cuban parallel market, surpassing the dollar by 73 CUP in the average closing value.
Regarding the MLC, the available data during this time frame is scarce and not very representative, so its exchange rate should be considered only as a rough reference. The average value is around 574 CUP, with a purchase at 568 CUP and a sale at 579 CUP.
The variation compared to yesterday is striking —up by 136 CUP— but given the warning of limited data, this figure should not be interpreted as a consolidated market movement. Without physical existence, its use is limited to state-run businesses that accept it, which restricts its circulation compared to cash currencies.
- Exchange rate of the dollar USD to CUP: 915 CUP.
- Exchange rate of the euro EUR to CUP: 988 CUP.
- Exchange rate from MLC to CUP: 574 CUP (reference value, limited data).
The official exchange rate of the Central Bank of Cuba (Segment III), set this November 14 at 832 CUP per dollar and 920 CUP per euro, remains significantly lower than the rates that govern everyday transactions in the informal currency market.
Although Segment III was introduced as a more flexible exchange mechanism, its official rate remains very distant from that of the informal market and fails to meet the actual demand for foreign currency from the population. The gap between the official and informal rates reflects the ongoing scarcity of foreign currency in the state banking system and the high demand for dollars and euros from the population, whether to emigrate, import goods, protect savings, or make purchases in the private sector.
In a scenario of sustained inflation, low state wages, and growing partial dollarization of the economy, every fluctuation in the informal market directly affects internal prices and the purchasing power of Cubans.
The Exchange Rate of CiberCuba is an index of the informal Cuban market, created through the automated analysis of thousands of currency buy-and-sell posts in Telegram and Facebook groups; the calculation excludes atypical offers and spam messages, weighs each transaction based on its age, and consolidates a representative value that is updated several times a day.
