The BWP/USD pair shows how many US dollars one Botswanan pula can buy, used by tourists, importers, and investors exposed to Botswana's diamond-driven economy.
Each row combines a UTC date, a rate and the change from the previous available observation. A positive change means the base currency buys more of the quote currency than on the previous available date.
Days without a quotation are not interpolated: the series keeps only observations that were actually received.
Compare several periods before a trip, an international transfer or a foreign-currency invoice. The average, minimum and maximum provide a quick reference, while the table enables a date-by-date check.
The BWP/USD exchange rate measures the value of the Botswanan pula against the US dollar, indicating how many US dollars are needed to purchase one pula. This pair is relevant for tourists traveling between Botswana and the United States, importers and exporters dealing in bilateral trade, and investors with exposure to Botswana's economy. An appreciation of the pula means it buys more dollars, making Botswana's exports more expensive for US buyers but reducing the cost of US imports for Botswana.
Structural drivers of BWP/USD include the monetary policies of the Bank of Botswana and the US Federal Reserve, with interest rate differentials influencing capital flows. Botswana's economy is heavily reliant on diamond exports, making the pula sensitive to global diamond demand and commodity prices. Inflation differentials, economic growth rates, and trade balances also play key roles. Additionally, tourism flows and foreign direct investment into Botswana's mining sector affect the pair. Risk sentiment in global markets can drive demand for the safe-haven US dollar, putting pressure on the pula.
Over the past several years, the BWP/USD rate has been influenced by fluctuations in diamond prices and global economic conditions. The pula has generally experienced moderate volatility against the dollar, with periods of depreciation during global downturns when diamond demand weakens. The Bank of Botswana has occasionally intervened to smooth excessive fluctuations. Without specific historical data, the pair's trajectory can be understood through the lens of Botswana's export dependence and the US dollar's role as a global reserve currency. Future movements will likely continue to reflect commodity cycles and monetary policy divergence.
