What the numbers say

Short term

The latest readings
  • The latest figure is MVR 20.97 for Sep 2026, down 0.7% from Aug 2026 and down 0.8% on the same month a year earlier.
  • The change on a year earlier averaged −0.1% over the last three months, against +0.3% in the three months before: the year-on-year pace is broadly unchanged.

Long term

The record as a whole
  • Trend growth over the past 10 years is -0.5% a year (least-squares fit on the logarithm; R² 0.25, a loose fit: the series has not followed a steady path, and this rate says little).
  • Measured end to end, compound growth is -0.7% a year over five years and -0.2% a year over ten.
  • The record high was MVR 24.74 in Aug 2011; the latest is 15.2% below it.
  • Year-on-year growth has typically varied by about 3.6 percentage points (one standard deviation) over the past five years.

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.
