Haitian Gourde (HTG) to USD — Haiti Parallel Market Rate

By the ETCurrency rates deskUpdated hourly from P2P & exchange-market dataHow we calculate rates

As of June 6, 2026, one US dollar costs about 128 HTG on the Haiti parallel market, so the Haitian Gourde is worth roughly $0.00781 each. In practical terms, 1,000 HTG ≈ $7.81 and 100,000 HTG ≈ $780.58 at the street rate, versus the official Bank of the Republic of Haiti (BRH) rate of about 131 HTG per dollar.

Insecurity and heavy import reliance have driven steady gourde depreciation, with the street rate leading the way.

How much is the Haitian Gourde worth in US dollars today?

Because the parallel market prices the dollar at about 128 HTG, you divide any Haitian Gourde amount by that figure to get its dollar value. For example, 10,000 HTG ≈ $78.06, 50,000 HTG ≈ $390.29, and 1,000,000 HTG ≈ $7,806. At the official rate the same Haitian Gourde would convert to slightly more dollars on paper — but only if you can actually access dollars at that rate.

This is why the parallel rate matters for anyone holding Haitian Gourde: it shows the real, market-clearing dollar value rather than an official rate that may be hard to obtain.

Why the HTG to USD street rate differs from the bank

When you convert Haitian Gourde to dollars at a bank, you get the official Bank of the Republic of Haiti (BRH) rate — if dollars are available. On the parallel market the dollar is dearer, driven by factors such as political instability and insecurity, import dependence, remittance flows, so each Haitian Gourde fetches fewer dollars there.

Today that difference is a modest premium of roughly 3.0%. The larger this gap, the more the official rate overstates what your Haitian Gourde is really worth in dollars.
