Singapore uses the Singapore dollar (currency symbol: S$, currency code: SGD), introduced in 1967 to replace the Malaya and British Borneo dollar, and managed by the country’s central bank, the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS). Coins are produced by the Singapore Mint, established in 1968.
Singapore operates an exchange-rate-based monetary policy, meaning the MAS actively manages the dollar against a trade-weighted basket of currencies rather than setting interest rates, which helps balance currency rates and mitigate the impact of global market fluctuations. As evident from our SGD to USD chart with historical rates, the currency has generally remained relatively stable over time, though short-term shifts occur.
As of the latest USD to SGD real-time mid-market exchange rate, $100 US converts to approximately 129 Singapore dollars, though the exact amount fluctuates constantly with market movements. To stay on top of these changes and ensure you exchange US currency to Singapore dollars at the best possible rate, sign up for our currency exchange rate alerts, which notify you when conditions are most favorable.
With $100 US in Singapore, you can cover a modest meal at a mid-range restaurant, a few transport rides, or several small everyday purchases, giving you a practical sense of its spending power while traveling.
The Singapore Dollar (SGD) has been strengthening recently due to a combination of global and domestic factors affecting currency rates. A weaker US Dollar (USD) amid concerns about US economic growth has made SGD relatively stronger, while easing trade tensions and Singapore’s status as a stable, export-oriented economy attract capital inflows that support the currency.
The Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS) also manages the exchange rate through a policy of a controlled float, which helps maintain confidence in SGD. Strong economic fundamentals, a large current account surplus, and demand for safe-haven currencies further contribute to its appreciation. The future of Singapore's currency will depend on global market fluctuations and trends, interest rate policies, and trade developments.
The United States Dollar (USD) may see fluctuations against the Singapore Dollar (SGD) in the near term, influenced by US economic data, interest rate decisions, and global market sentiment. While some analysts expect moderate USD strength if the US economy shows resilience or the Federal Reserve signals tighter monetary policy, Singapore’s strong economic fundamentals and stable monetary management may continue to support SGD.
Use our online currency converter to monitor SGD to USD exchange rates in real time to get the latest data. You can also combine it with our historical chart to get the most accurate picture of how the USD is performing relative to SGD.
