=== Major events ===
In April 2025, Suriname experienced a significant rise in the price of the euro, which reached SRD 41.33. Finance and Planning Minister Stanley Raghoebarsing attributed the increase to international developments, particularly the weakening of the U.S. dollar following new American trade policies. On 3 April 2025, [[Donald Trump|U.S. President Donald Trump]] announced a 10% tariff on all imports and higher rates on goods from around 60 economies. These measures, analysts noted, could trigger global economic disruptions. Raghoebarsing emphasized that the euro surge was not due to domestic policy and urged the public not to panic.<ref>{{Cite web |title=“Do not panic” |url=https://www.surinametimes.com/artikel/do-not-panic |access-date=2025-04-08 |website=www.surinametimes.com |language=en}}</ref>
