The BIF/USD pair shows how many Burundian Francs are needed to buy one US Dollar, reflecting Burundi's trade and financial ties with the United States.
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 BIF/USD currency pair represents the exchange rate between the Burundian Franc (BIF), the official currency of Burundi, and the US Dollar (USD), the world's primary reserve currency. This directed pair indicates how many Burundian Francs are required to purchase one US Dollar. An appreciation of the BIF (a decrease in the rate) means the Franc strengthens against the Dollar, making Burundian exports more expensive for US buyers but reducing the cost of imports from the US. Conversely, a depreciation (increase in the rate) benefits Burundi's export competitiveness but raises import costs. This pair is relevant for businesses engaged in trade between Burundi and the United States, as well as for investors monitoring frontier market currencies.
The structural drivers of BIF/USD are shaped by the monetary policies of the Bank of the Republic of Burundi (BRB) and the US Federal Reserve. Burundi's economy is heavily reliant on agriculture, particularly coffee and tea exports, making the Franc sensitive to commodity price fluctuations and weather conditions. The BRB often intervenes to manage exchange rate stability, while the Fed's interest rate decisions influence global capital flows and USD strength. Inflation differentials, economic growth rates, and political stability in Burundi also play key roles. Additionally, remittances from the Burundian diaspora and foreign aid flows impact the supply of foreign currency. Risk sentiment in emerging markets can lead to sudden capital outflows, pressuring the BIF.
Over the past several years, the BIF/USD exchange rate has generally trended upward, reflecting persistent depreciation of the Burundian Franc against the US Dollar. This trend has been driven by structural trade deficits, limited foreign exchange reserves, and periodic political uncertainties. The BRB has occasionally adjusted the official rate to align with parallel market dynamics. While the USD has remained strong due to US economic resilience and monetary tightening, the BIF has faced headwinds from domestic inflationary pressures and subdued export earnings. Looking ahead, the pair will continue to be influenced by Burundi's economic reforms, external aid flows, and global dollar strength.
