USD 37.6 million; US$ 37.6 million... UNLESS....
Explanation:
in some Spanish-speaking countries the comma is NOT a decimal (in Mexico, for instance, usage is not consistent, but numbers are usually "American style)....

If from the rest of the document you see that , is NOT a decimal marker and that . is the decimal marker, then, for the U.S":

USD 37.6 billion; US$ 37.6 billion...

mil millones = billion in US English... thousand million in UK, although I hear that's not always the case.

USD 376 billion


Explanation:
I get confused, too! But mil millones when translated into English are a billion. This sum is 37.6 mil millones, right? If so, I think the answer is 376 billion: 37,600,000,000,000. (37.6 billion would be 37,600,000,000 and 37.6 million would only be 37,600,000).

Explanation:
Confunden, no? En EE.UU. usan puntos donde nosotros usamos comas, y comas donde usamos puntos. Suerte
En letras serían treinta y siete mil seiscientos millones o
37.600.000.000
Espero te quede claro

Perdón, leí mal el par. La cifra que te puse es en español, para los americanos l.000 millones son 1 billón, por lo tanto tu cifra es 37.6 billion US dollars, absolutely sure now. Sorry for the mistake.
