Businesses and individuals: 1 month to update official exchange rates in euros

The Bank of Spain publishes the official exchange rates of the euro for April 10, 2026, approved by the European Central Bank, in accordance with Article 36 of Law 46/1998. These rates replace previous ones and must be used by businesses, individuals, and administrations in financial and commercial operations. The change directly impacts calculations of foreign currency amounts, especially in exports, imports, and international payments.

In 3 key points

  1. Official exchange rates are updated daily according to the ECB (Art. 36 Law 46/1998) (art. 36 Ley 46/1998)
  2. 1 euro = 1.1711 US dollars (official rate as of 10/04/2026) (cambio 1 euro = 1,1711 dólares USA)
  3. Rates must be used in financial and commercial transactions from the date of publication (art. 36 Ley 46/1998)

How it affects those involved

Businesses and traders must update their foreign currency price and cost calculations to avoid errors in invoicing and payments. Individuals making international purchases or travelling should review their conversions. Public administrations managing international contracts must apply the new rates in their processes. Financial advisors must inform their clients of the change and adjust their calculation models.
