Understanding CRC to USD Exchange Rates
The Costa Rican Colón (CRC) is the currency of Central America's most stable democracy, known for its eco-tourism, coffee exports, and technology sector. CRC/USD exchange rates are influenced by tourism receipts (Costa Rica attracts millions of visitors annually), coffee and banana export prices, Central Bank of Costa Rica monetary policy decisions, US Federal Reserve interest rate changes, and global risk sentiment affecting emerging market currencies. The colón typically weakens when tourism declines or commodity prices fall, reflecting Costa Rica's export-dependent economy.
