The Philippine peso on Thursday, Nov. 21, plummeted to a record-low of 59 to a dollar, a level not seen in over two years, as the strong dollar, bolstered by the US presidential elections, continued to impact other currencies.
The peso dropped 9 centavos from its previous day’s close, matching the rate last recorded on October 17, 2022.
