Understanding USD to CRC Exchange Rates

The US Dollar (USD) to Costa Rican Colón (CRC) exchange rate reflects the relationship between the world's reserve currency and Central America's most stable economy. USD/CRC is heavily influenced by tourism flows (millions of US tourists visit Costa Rica annually), coffee and agricultural commodity prices, Central Bank of Costa Rica monetary policy, US Federal Reserve policy decisions, and emerging market currency sentiment. When tourism booms or coffee prices rise, the colón typically strengthens, while economic uncertainty or US interest rate hikes often boost the dollar against the CRC.
