Malagasy Ariary to US Dollar exchange rate history
About the US Dollar
The US Dollar (USD, $) is the world's primary reserve currency and the de facto reference rate for most African remittance pricing. It is issued by the Federal Reserve System and subdivided into 100 cents. For African corridors, the USD plays two distinct roles: as the on-the-wire settlement currency that originating remittance providers use to hedge between markets, and as the unit of account that diaspora senders most often think in. When operators quote a USD-to-local-currency rate, the difference between that rate and the interbank mid-market — the spread — is where most of the corridor's cost is hidden, often dwarfing the visible send fee. For receivers in countries with thin USD interbank markets such as Sierra Leone or Mozambique, the published rate can lag the interbank reference by several percentage points.
