Frequently asked questions
What is the indicative rate?
The NBE explains it as the weighted average rate of the foreign exchange deals banks made the previous day. It is a reference, not a rate banks must use.
Why does my bank give a different rate?
Each bank quotes its own buying and selling rates. The indicative rate is only a reference figure.
Is the rate published at weekends?
No. The NBE publishes it on working days, so at a weekend the calculator uses the last rate published.
