Exchange Rate in Euro Area
The euro saw volatility over the last decade in response to changes in global risk sentiment, and relative interest rates in the U.S. vs Europe. That said, the euro has tended to depreciate vs the dollar, likely on higher safe-haven demand, a negative interest rate differential with the U.S. and the United States' economic outperformance relative to the Eurozone.
The exchange rate ended 2024 at USD 1.04, compared to the end-2023 value of USD 1.10 and the figure a decade earlier of USD 1.21. It averaged USD 1.13 over the last decade. For more exchange rate information, visit our dedicated page.
