The currency chart for Brazil shows historical data for the Brazilian Reals per USD exchange rate. These are monthly averages and not end-of-month currency values. An increase means depreciation against the USD as one can exchange more Brazilian Reals per USD. Depreciation implies that goods from Brazil become cheaper to export and it becomes cheaper for foreigners to visit Brazil.

For that period, the average exchange rate for Brazil was 3.1196 Brazilian Reals per USD with a minimum of 1.563 Brazilian Reals per USD in July 2011 and a maximum of 6.0809 Brazilian Reals per USD in December 2024.

Currency values in Brazil and elsewhere have different driving forces over the short-run and the long-run. Countries may have fixed or floating exchange rate regimes or be part of monetary unions. They may experience currency crises. These and other issues are discussed in detail on our Exchange rate page.
