Converting from Eritrea Nakfa (ERN) to Qatar Rial (QAR)

What is Eritrea Nakfa (ERN)

The Eritrea Nakfa (ERN) is the official currency of Eritrea, a small country located in the Horn of Africa. It was introduced in 1997, replacing the Ethiopian Birr at a conversion rate of 1 Nakfa to 2 Birr. The name "Nakfa" is derived from the town of Nakfa, which holds significant historical importance as a center of resistance during Eritrea's struggle for independence.

The Nakfa is subdivided into 100 cents, although cents are rarely used in daily transactions. The currency is issued by the Bank of Eritrea, which is the country's central bank. The symbol for the Nakfa is often represented as "Nfk" or sometimes simply as "ERN" in written form.

Eritrea's economy is largely based on agriculture, mining, and remittances from Eritreans living abroad. As a result, the value of the Nakfa can experience fluctuations influenced by various economic factors, including trade balances, inflation rates, and foreign exchange reserves. However, the Nakfa is not widely traded on international markets, and its value may be less stable compared to other more widely recognized currencies.

What is Qatar Rial (QAR)

The Qatar Rial (QAR) is the official currency of the State of Qatar, a small yet prosperous nation located on the northeastern coast of the Arabian Peninsula. The Qatari Rial was introduced in the early 1970s, replacing the Qatar and Dubai Riyal at a rate of 1 Rial to 10 Dirhams. The currency is divided into 100 dirhams.

The symbol for the Qatari Rial is commonly represented as "QR" or "ريال." The Qatar Central Bank is responsible for issuing and regulating the currency. The QAR is known for its stability, largely due to Qatar's substantial reserves of natural gas and oil, which play a crucial role in the country’s economy.

The economy of Qatar is one of the richest in the world per capita, driven by its energy sector, international investments, and a growing tourism industry. The stable nature of the QAR makes it a popular choice for international transactions in the Middle East. The currency is also pegged to the US Dollar at a fixed exchange rate of 1 USD to approximately 3.64 QAR, which further reinforces its stability.
