Movement this week. The story is corridor-specific.
Caribbean side. GYD, JMD, TTD all stable inside their typical week-on-week bands. BBD pegged. ECCB countries (Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent, Grenada, Dominica, Saint Kitts) pegged at 2.70. For diaspora senders to the pegged corridor, FX is not the variable this week — service fees and corridor margin discipline are. Use Wise or Remitly for bank-to-bank where available; cash-pickup pricing differs.
Africa side. NGN volatility persisting — if you are sending to Nigeria, time the transfer mid-week and check the rate within an hour of executing. GHS continuing its slow strengthening trend on remittance volume and Bank of Ghana restructuring discipline. ZAR slightly firmer on inbound-tourism story.
HTG remains the corridor to watch. Electoral campaign opening produces political-uncertainty pricing in. If you are supporting family in Haiti, send earlier in the week rather than later, and consider larger amounts less frequently to minimize FX-spread exposure.
