Overview
Seychelles's exchange rate stood at 12.75 in 2025, a decline of +1.78 from 2024. Based on recent trends, this figure is projected to reach 12.75 by 2025. Seychelles ranked 100th globally.
Seychelles' exchange rate has exhibited significant fluctuations over the past 66 years, with a notable all-time peak of 17.62 in 2020 and a trough of 4.76 in 1966. While the country's current exchange rate stands at 12.75, ranking 100 globally, it is closer to Botswana's 14.43 than Sweden's 11.24. The exchange rate has generally trended upwards since the trough, with the exception of a brief period of decline in the early 2000s. Notably, the 2020 peak was a response to the global COVID-19 pandemic, which led to a sharp increase in demand for safe-haven assets. As economic conditions continue to evolve, a shift in global trade patterns or a significant change in the country's economic fundamentals could alter the trajectory of Seychelles' exchange rate.
