Converting from Swiss Franc (CHF) to Ethiopian Birr (ETB)

What is Swiss Franc (CHF)

The Swiss Franc (CHF) is the official currency of Switzerland and the Principality of Liechtenstein. It is abbreviated as “CHF,” which stands for “Confoederatio Helvetica Franc,” a nod to the Latin name for the Swiss Confederation. The Swiss Franc is recognized for its stability and reliability, often viewed as a safe haven during times of economic uncertainty.

The currency is divided into 100 centimes, and it comes in various denominations of coins and bills. The Swiss National Bank (SNB) is responsible for issuing and controlling the currency, ensuring its supply aligns with the country's economic needs. Due to Switzerland's strong economy and robust financial sector, the Franc is part of the International Monetary Fund’s (IMF) Special Drawing Rights (SDR) basket, highlighting its importance in global trade.

What is Ethiopian Birr (ETB)

The Ethiopian Birr (ETB) is the official currency of Ethiopia. Its name, "Birr," is derived from the Italian word "birra," which means "silver." The currency was introduced in 1945 to replace the Ethiopian dollar. The Birr is subdivided into 100 cents, and it comes in both coin and banknote forms, with various denominations available for everyday transactions.

The National Bank of Ethiopia (NBE) manages the issuance and regulation of the Birr. Over the years, the Ethiopian Birr has undergone several changes, including notable revaluations due to inflation and economic shifts. As Ethiopia's economy has grown, so has the international interest in the Birr, spurred by investments in agriculture, infrastructure, and energy sectors.
