Related Data

A managed float, not pegged to any other currency - the RBI lets the market set its value but occasionally buys or sells dollars to smooth out sharp swings.

  • Symbol: โ‚น
  • Subunit: 100 paise = 1 rupee
  • Issued by: Reserve Bank of India (RBI)

What is ETB (Ethiopian Birr)?

Moved from a tightly managed, effectively pegged rate to a market-determined float in July 2024, an IMF-linked reform that led to a sharp, immediate devaluation as the official rate adjusted to reflect real market conditions.

Key Facts

  • Symbol: Br
  • Subunit: 100 santim = 1 birr
  • Issued by: National Bank of Ethiopia

Why Does the INR/ETB Exchange Rate Change?

The INR/ETB rate moves every trading day, driven mainly by:

  • The July 2024 currency reform - Ethiopia moved from a tightly managed, effectively pegged rate to a market-determined float, an IMF-linked change that caused a sharp, immediate devaluation.
  • Ethiopia's coffee export revenue, historically one of its largest traditional foreign currency earners.
  • Foreign investment and aid inflows, significant given Ethiopia's large-scale infrastructure development in recent years.
  • Domestic inflation, which has remained elevated and continues to pressure the birr's real value.
  • India-Ethiopia trade and investment, a growing relationship.
  • RBI intervention and rupee-side factors.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why did the Ethiopian Birr devalue sharply in 2024?

Ethiopia moved from a tightly managed, effectively fixed exchange rate to a market-determined float in July 2024, an IMF-linked reform. Because the old official rate had been held well above what the market would have set, letting it float caused an immediate, sharp devaluation as the rate adjusted to real conditions.

Is the Ethiopian Birr pegged to the US Dollar?

Not anymore. It was effectively managed close to a fixed rate for years, but since the July 2024 reform it's meant to be market-determined, though the National Bank of Ethiopia still plays an active role in the market.

Is this the bank rate or forex rate?

It's the mid-market rate, the midpoint between the buy and sell price on the global currency market, with no margin added. Banks, forex counters and card networks add their own markup on top, so the rate you're actually charged when exchanging cash or paying by card abroad will differ, usually by 1 to 4 percent in their favor.

How often is the rate updated?

Once a day, refreshed at 7:00 AM IST from the Frankfurter API.

Where do these rates come from?

Frankfurter (frankfurter.dev), a free exchange-rate API that blends official reference rates from multiple central banks rather than relying on a single source.

Can I use this rate for an actual currency conversion?

Use it as a reference for roughly what you should be getting, not as the exact rate you'll receive. An actual transaction, a bank transfer, cash exchange, or a card payment abroad, goes through your bank or exchange provider's own rate, which includes their margin and any transaction fees.
