The AWG/USD pair shows how many US dollars are needed to buy one Aruban florin, reflecting Aruba's dollar-pegged 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 AWG/USD currency pair represents the exchange rate between the Aruban florin (AWG) and the US dollar (USD), quoted as the number of US dollars required to purchase one Aruban florin. This pair is primarily used by travelers, businesses, and investors dealing with Aruba's tourism-driven economy. When the AWG appreciates against the USD, each florin buys more dollars, benefiting importers and travelers to the US, while a weaker florin makes Aruban exports and tourism more competitive.
The Aruban florin has been pegged to the US dollar at a fixed rate of 1.79 AWG per USD since 1986, a policy maintained by the Central Bank of Aruba. This peg eliminates exchange-rate volatility between the two currencies, meaning the AWG/USD rate remains constant. The US Federal Reserve's monetary policy influences the USD's global value, but the peg ensures that Aruba's monetary policy aligns closely with US rates. Key drivers for Aruba's economy include tourism, foreign direct investment, and commodity prices, while the US dollar's strength is affected by US interest rates, inflation, and economic growth.
Over the past several years, the AWG/USD rate has remained stable due to the fixed peg, with no fluctuations observed. The Central Bank of Aruba has consistently defended the peg through foreign exchange interventions and by maintaining adequate reserves. Any changes to the peg would require significant economic shifts, such as a sustained decline in tourism or a major adjustment in US monetary policy. Thus, the pair serves as a reliable benchmark for transactions between Aruba and the United States, with no historical volatility to report.
