FAQ
+What is today's USD to ETB rate?
The live USD/ETB official reference rate published by the National Bank of Ethiopia (NBE) is shown above. NBE updates the official rate each business day.
+Where do the birr rates come from?
Directly from the National Bank of Ethiopia (NBE), the country's central bank. We mirror the NBE official reference rate exactly, with no spread applied.
+Is the Ethiopian birr pegged to the dollar?
No. Ethiopia moved to a market-based exchange-rate regime in mid-2024, so the birr now floats and the rate is set by the market rather than a fixed peg. AfriRate publishes only the official NBE reference rate.
