USD to HTG Exchange Rate History — Haiti
Over the past 90 days, the USD to Haitian Gourde parallel (black market) rate moved from about 140.15 HTG on Oct 19, 2026 to 139.53 HTG on Oct 19, 2026 — a change of -0.4%. Across that window the Haitian Gourde held broadly steady against the dollar, trading between a low of 139.53 and a high of 140.8 HTG, averaging 140.22 HTG per US dollar.
Insecurity and heavy import reliance have driven steady gourde depreciation, with the street rate leading the way.
How to read the HTG rate history
The chart plots the parallel buy rate — how many HTG it took to buy one US dollar — at each point we recorded. The daily table below lists the closing buy and sell rate for each day, while the monthly table summarises the average, high and low for each month, which is useful for comparing one period with another.
A rising line means the Haitian Gourde is losing value (more HTG per dollar); a falling line means it is gaining. Over this window the spread between the high (140.8) and the low (139.53) shows how volatile the market has been — here, roughly 0.3% around the average.
What has moved the Haitian Gourde recently?
In Haiti, the parallel rate is driven by factors such as political instability and insecurity, import dependence, remittance flows. When dollars become scarcer or confidence falls, the street rate climbs ahead of the official Bank of the Republic of Haiti (BRH) rate; when supply improves or policy tightens, the gap can narrow again.
Because the parallel rate often moves before official devaluations, its history is a useful early-warning record — a steadily rising trend frequently precedes an official adjustment, while a long plateau suggests relative stability.
Using historical HTG rates
Historical rates help with budgeting, invoicing, remittance planning and spotting trends, but they are not a forecast — past movements do not guarantee future ones. For the live rate, see our main USD to HTG page, and use the converter for exact amounts.
