Converting from Bermuda Dollar (BMD) to Malagasy Ariary (MGA)

What is Bermuda Dollar (BMD)

The Bermuda Dollar (BMD) is the official currency of Bermuda, a British Overseas Territory located in the North Atlantic Ocean. It was first introduced in 1970, replacing the Bermuda pound at par, meaning 1 BMD is equivalent to 1 Bermuda pound. The Bermuda Dollar is pegged to the US dollar (USD) at a one-to-one exchange rate, which facilitates trade and tourism in the region.

The BMD is divided into 100 cents, just like the USD. It is essential for both residents and visitors in Bermuda, as this currency is used for all transactions on the island. The Bermuda Monetary Authority (BMA) is responsible for issuing the Bermuda Dollar and regulating its supply. The banknotes are available in denominations of ＄2, ＄5, ＄10, ＄20, ＄50 and ＄100, while coins are issued in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 25 cents, and 1 dollar.

The stability of Bermuda's economy, primarily driven by international business and tourism, contributes to the Bermuda Dollar’s robust value. Hence, it serves as a reliable currency, particularly when conducting international transactions.

What is Malagasy Ariary (MGA)

The Malagasy Ariary (MGA) is the currency of Madagascar, an island nation located off the southeast coast of Africa. Introduced in 2005, the Ariary replaced the Malagasy franc at a rate of 1 Ariary equaling 5 Malagasy francs. The Ariary is unique because it is the only currency in Africa that is divided into 5 and 10 units (known as "Iraimbilanja"), while most currencies are typically divided into 100 subunits.

The Ariary is abbreviated as MGA and is issued by the Central Bank of Madagascar. The banknotes come in various denominations including 1,000, 2,000, 5,000, 10,000, 20,000, 50,000, and 100,000 Ariary. Coins of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100 Ariary are also available.

Madagascar's economy is largely based on agriculture, mining, and tourism, with the Ariary serving as a practical currency for daily transactions. Given the fluctuating nature of the Malagasy economy, the value of the Ariary can vary significantly against major currencies like the Bermuda Dollar. Therefore, converting between BMD and MGA can be impacted by factors such as inflation, economic stability, and global market trends.
