Annual averages are computed from daily observations inside each calendar year. 2026 is a partial year, so its average covers the year to date. Parity rows come from documented official parities and are not market prices.
Where the numbers come from
Market rates come from Federal Reserve H.10 data via FRED, with ECB reference rates for recent euro pairs. Pre-float GBP and INR values use documented Bretton Woods and sterling-area parities. PPP factors come from the IMF World Economic Outlook implied PPP conversion rate (PPPEX).
The annual files are free to cite, quote and use in research or reporting with attribution to CurrencyCore. They are not a substitute for the API: the API carries daily observations, 40 pairs, and the full history. You may not redistribute the files as a standalone data feed or resell them.
If a source revises a fixing, the API keeps the observation date so a figure can be reproduced. For audit work, store the returned date alongside the amount rather than the date you requested.
