Overview
Ecuador's exchange rate stood at 1.00 in 2025, a rise of +0.00 from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 1.00 by 2025. Ecuador ranked 156th globally.
Ecuador’s official exchange rate has collapsed from 15.00 units per US dollar in 1960 to a historic low of 1.00 in 2025, placing the country at rank 156 globally according to the World Bank. The most dramatic depreciation occurred in 1999, when the rate surged to an all‑time peak of 11,786.80, reflecting the severe financial crisis that forced the dollarisation of the economy. Over the 66‑year coverage period the exchange rate has therefore moved from a modest devaluation to a complete anchoring to the US dollar, a trajectory shared by peer small‑state economies such as Bermuda, Micronesia (Federated States of), the Bahamas and Guam, all of which also record a rate of 1.00 in 2025. The persistence of a fixed 1.00 rate suggests a continued reliance on dollarisation, but any shift in fiscal policy, external debt restructuring or a resurgence of inflationary pressures could reopen the path toward a more flexible exchange‑rate regime.
