The ANG/USD pair shows how many US dollars one Netherlands Antillean guilder buys, used by traders and travelers in Sint Maarten and the Caribbean.
The curve shows the change in one unit of ANG expressed in USD. An upward slope means the base currency is strengthening relative to the quote currency; a downward slope indicates the opposite.
Use the 7-day, 30-day or 1-year periods to distinguish a short movement from a more lasting trend.
Volatility can reflect central-bank announcements, economic data, trade flows or risk sentiment. A chart is not a forecast: it describes the observations available for the selected period.
The ANG/USD exchange rate represents the value of the Netherlands Antillean guilder (ANG) against the US dollar (USD). This directed pair indicates how many US dollars are needed to purchase one Netherlands Antillean guilder. It is primarily used by businesses, investors, and travelers dealing with transactions between Sint Maarten and the United States. When the ANG appreciates against the USD, it means the guilder strengthens, making US goods cheaper for Sint Maarten importers but reducing the value of USD-denominated assets held by guilder-based investors.
The structural drivers of ANG/USD are shaped by the monetary policies of the Central Bank of Curaçao and Sint Maarten (CBCS) and the US Federal Reserve. The ANG is pegged to the USD at a fixed rate of 1.79 ANG per USD, which limits exchange rate fluctuations. Key factors include interest rate differentials between the CBCS and the Fed, inflation trends in both economies, and economic growth in Sint Maarten, which relies heavily on tourism, trade, and financial services. Commodity prices, particularly oil, also influence the pair as the region imports energy. Capital flows and risk sentiment can affect the peg's credibility, but the fixed regime reduces volatility.
Over the past several years, the ANG/USD pair has remained stable due to the currency peg, with only minor deviations within the CBCS's managed band. The peg has been maintained since 1940, providing predictability for trade and investment. While the USD has strengthened globally at times, the ANG's fixed rate has insulated Sint Maarten from major swings. The CBCS adjusts monetary policy to defend the peg, focusing on foreign reserves and inflation control. This stability makes the pair less speculative than floating currencies, but it remains sensitive to shifts in US monetary policy and regional economic shocks, such as hurricanes or changes in tourism demand.
