The Northern Mariana Islands have maintained a constant exchange rate of 1.00 against the US dollar for the entire 66‑year series covered by the World Bank, with the latest 2025 figure unchanged at 1.00 and ranking 160th globally. This flat trajectory means the territory has experienced no measurable peak or trough since the earliest observation in 1960, reflecting a de facto currency board or dollarization that eliminates exchange‑rate risk but also foregoes any gains from depreciation or appreciation. Comparable jurisdictions such as the Marshall Islands, Panama, Guam and Palau register identical rates, underscoring a regional pattern of pegging to the United States dollar to support trade, tourism and fiscal stability. The absence of fluctuation limits the use of exchange‑rate policy as a macroeconomic tool; future shifts would likely stem from major changes in fiscal arrangements, a move toward a distinct monetary unit, or external pressures that force a revaluation of the peg.
