Current rate
1 USD = 3.75 PEN as of 2026-05-17. USD/PEN is notable as one of the most stable emerging market currencies in Latin America, thanks to Peru's prudent central bank (BCRP) and copper-export-driven reserves. The 700K+ Peruvian diaspora in the US (concentrated in New Jersey, Florida and California) drives remittance flows, and Peru's growing mining and agribusiness exports keep the corridor active for commercial transfers. Political turbulence has not significantly weakened the sol.
