Azerbaijani Manat (AZN) to USD — Azerbaijan Parallel Market Rate
By the ETCurrency rates deskUpdated hourly from P2P & exchange-market dataHow we calculate rates
This page shows how much the Azerbaijani Manat (AZN) is worth in US dollars at Azerbaijan's parallel — or "black market" — exchange rate, updated through the day. It is the reverse of our USD to AZN page and reflects what your Azerbaijani Manat actually fetches in dollars on the street.
Azerbaijan keeps the manat closely managed against the dollar, so the parallel gap stays narrow outside periods of oil-price stress.
How much is the Azerbaijani Manat worth in US dollars today?
To convert Azerbaijani Manat into dollars you divide the amount by the number of AZN it takes to buy one dollar. When the parallel rate is weaker than the official one, each Azerbaijani Manat buys fewer real dollars than the headline official rate implies.
This is why the parallel rate matters for anyone holding Azerbaijani Manat: it shows the real, market-clearing dollar value rather than an official rate that may be hard to obtain.
Why the AZN to USD street rate differs from the bank
When you convert Azerbaijani Manat to dollars at a bank, you get the official Central Bank of Azerbaijan (CBA) rate — if dollars are available. On the parallel market the dollar is dearer, driven by factors such as a managed manat peg, oil-revenue dependence, dollar demand, so each Azerbaijani Manat fetches fewer dollars there.
The larger the gap between the two rates, the more the official rate overstates what your Azerbaijani Manat is really worth in dollars.
