What influences the Philippine peso?Īs with many currencies, the value of the peso depends on central bank action, raising or lowering interest rates. For example, if USD/PHP was 59.00, this means that 1 USD is equivalent to 59 Philippine pesos. The exchange rate USD/PHP tells us how many Philippine pesos equal one US dollar. This means that if more Philippine pesos are demanded than offered, the price of the peso would rise and vice versa. The currency was pegged against the US dollar until 1993, when the New Central Bank Act of 1993 set the peso on route to becoming a free-floating currency.Ī free-floating exchange rate means that the value of the PHP is determined by the interbank foreign exchange markets, in other words, by supply and demand. The Philippine peso (PHP), is the national currency of the Republic of the Philippines.
