How to read this series

Exchange rates. Rufiyaa per unit of each foreign currency. The US dollar rate is held almost fixed, so movements against other currencies mostly reflect how those currencies move against the dollar.

  • Recent periods are often revised as fuller data arrive. The version comparison below shows what MMA has changed since this site began keeping copies.

Terms such as percentage points, flows and stocks, and trend growth are explained in How to read the tracker.
