Cuba's Informal Market Sees Euro Rise Amid Dollar Stability

The informal currency market in Cuba wrapped up on Sunday, August 2, 2026, with mixed results. The U.S. dollar held steady at 673 Cuban pesos (CUP) for the third consecutive session and week, indicating consistent demand amidst a chronic shortage of foreign exchange.

The euro experienced a modest increase, rising to 788 CUP from 785 CUP in the previous day's trading. This European currency has been stable over the past week, losing only one peso compared to its value seven days ago.

The Monetary Liquidity Certificate (MLC) closed at around 479 CUP, but this figure should be approached with caution due to the limited volume of transactions recorded during this time period.
