Businesses and individuals: 1 month to update exchange rates in international operations

The Bank of Spain publishes official exchange rates for the euro as of April 1, 2026, in accordance with Law 46/1998. These rates replace previous ones and must be used in financial and commercial transactions, particularly in exports, imports, or international payments.

In 3 key points

  1. Official euro exchange rates are updated every 1 April according to the ECB (art. 36 Ley 46/1998)
  2. 1 euro = 1.1605 US dollars (official rate from 1/4/2026) (texto fuente)
  3. Rates must be used in financial and commercial transactions from 1 April (art. 36 Ley 46/1998)

How it affects those involved

Businesses and individuals engaged in international transactions must update their exchange rate calculations to avoid errors in pricing, costs, or profits. Exporting companies could see their margins affected if they fail to adjust in time. Banks and financial services must update their internal systems. Advisors should inform their clients about the new rates and their implications for calculating costs and profits.
