Dollar Stays Steady as Euro Falls in Cuba's Informal Market
The informal market in Cuba closed on Wednesday, August 19, 2026, with the US dollar remaining stable and the euro losing ground.
The greenback ended the day at 663 Cuban pesos (CUP), unchanged from the previous session. This stability is notable, especially considering it has only lost 2.5 pesos over the past week, a decline of just 0.4% from 665 CUP seven days ago.
The euro, on the other hand, closed at 750 CUP, down 7 pesos compared to the previous day when it was reported at 757 CUP. This downward trend is also evident in the weekly outlook: seven days ago, the European currency traded at 760 pesos, 10 pesos above the current level.
