In 27 of the 47 countries we priced this hour, a dollar costs within 2% of the official rate
In 8 it costs more than 8% extra, most of all in Algeria, where people pay 91.6% more.
Prices from the 01:00 UTC hour. 48 of 55 countries had a price. Sudan is left out of the ranking because its government stopped updating the official rate. The other 7 are listed at the bottom.
7 countries had no price at 01:00 UTC
Afghanistan, Angola, Lebanon, Mongolia, Qatar, Syria, West Africa.
Show why for each
- Afghanistan: too few people selling to call it a price
- Angola: too few people selling to call it a price
- Lebanon: too few people selling to call it a price
- Mongolia: too few people selling to call it a price
- Qatar: too few people selling to call it a price
- Syria: too few people selling to call it a price
- West Africa: the buying and selling sides are not the same market here
We also check Botswana, Brunei, Ethiopia, Ghana, Nepal every hour, but too few people sell dollars there to give a price.
Sudan has a price but is left off the scale. Its official rate is frozen, so the gap measures the freeze, not what people pay.
