At a money counter near JFK, a man asks for Singapore dollars. The clerk taps his calculator, slides the note back, and the man frowns. Exchange boards look simple, just numbers glowing on plastic screens.
But each shift eats into travel funds, remittances, and corporate orders. The Singapore dollar today stands steady against the U.S. dollar, the euro, and the Indian rupee, yet every decimal matters.
People rarely stop to think about exchange numbers until it’s their wallet or bank transfer on the line. Singapore’s currency is known for stability, though even its careful steps ripple across homes and markets.
Right now one Singapore dollar equals about 0.7792 U.S. dollars. Flip it around and a dollar costs 1.2833 in Singapore terms. For American companies buying electronics or pharmaceuticals from Singapore, that change shows up in invoice totals. A college student swiping a U.S. card at a hawker stall notices it too when a plate of noodles costs slightly more than last summer.

Against the euro, the Singapore dollar trades between 0.6653 and 0.6656. A euro brings back about 1.50 in Singapore money. A tourist from Paris finds their hotel bill lighter when the euro edges higher. Meanwhile, a Singapore firm importing German machine tools does the opposite math and groans at the rising cost.
The rupee sits at roughly 68.78 for every Singapore dollar. Turn it around and one rupee buys just 0.0145. For an Indian worker wiring $500 back to family, the gain or loss of a few rupees per dollar means extra groceries or missed rent. Exporters of textiles feel it too. Small swings, big effects.
| Currency Pair | Today’s Rate (1 SGD =) | Inverse Value |
| USD | ~0.7792 USD | ~1.2833 SGD |
| EUR | ~0.6653–0.6656 EUR | ~1.5032 SGD |
| INR | ~68.78 INR | ~0.0145 SGD |
The Singapore dollar against the rupee has held a narrow path, dipping to 67.70 and climbing to 68.78 in the past month. On a chart, that looks flat. In a household in Mumbai, that difference decides if a remittance covers school fees or not. Stability looks neat on paper but feels very different in daily life.
The euro-dollar battle plays out loudly in global headlines. In Singapore, it shows up more quietly. The euro bounced between 0.8529 and 0.8637 per dollar recently. Funds flowing between New York and Frankfurt wash into Asia sooner or later, and the Singapore dollar drifts accordingly. Traders here check those numbers as carefully as the locals check weather reports.
Singapore runs its currency system unlike most. The Monetary Authority of Singapore doesn’t set an overnight rate like the Fed. Instead, it keeps the dollar inside a trade-weighted band, reviewed every six months.
The slope and width aren’t public, but traders read signals and adjust. It has kept inflation tame and made Singapore a predictable hub for trade.
The mix of currencies in the basket matters. More Indian imports tilt weight toward the rupee. A slowdown in Europe shifts things the other way. That design means fewer sudden shocks. Container shipments leaving Jurong don’t face the wild midnight swings common in other ports. For businesses planning contracts months ahead, predictability beats drama.
Exchange levels touch more people than the finance crowd alone. Today’s figures look calm, but each group feels them in daily routines.
Looking ahead, no one expects the Singapore dollar to break far from its band before the next Monetary Authority review. Inflation data could force a shift, but barring that, stability holds.
The U.S. Federal Reserve still dominates direction. If rates hold, the dollar may ease, letting the Singapore dollar climb. Europe’s energy struggles keep the euro unpredictable. India’s growth adds pressure to the rupee, shaping flows of remittances and trade.
For businesses, this means more spreadsheets, cautious contracts, and hedges stacked high. For tourists, it’s double-checking the exchange app before leaving home. For families waiting on remittances, it’s staring at the numbers on a receipt and calculating what gets paid this week. The Singapore dollar may not make front-page drama, but its quiet movements write themselves into everyday life.
