How to read this index
- 1 USD = X CURRENCY — how many units of that currency you get for 1 US Dollar.
- Higher number means the currency is "weaker" relative to USD (it takes more units to equal 1 USD). Examples: JPY, IDR, VND.
- Lower number means the currency is "stronger" relative to USD (it takes fewer units). Examples: GBP, EUR, CHF, BHD, KWD.
- Pegged currencies: AED, SAR, QAR, BHD are roughly fixed against USD by their central banks.
Why currency strength matters for travelers
A strong currency at home means your money goes further abroad. Example: if you earn USD and the EUR weakens (USD/EUR rises), your European trip becomes effectively cheaper. Conversely, if INR/USD jumps, US travelers find India cheaper but Indians find US trips more expensive.
