Converting from Ghanian Cedi (GHS) to São Tomé and Príncipe Dobra (STN)

What is Ghanian Cedi (GHS)

The Ghanian cedi (GHS) is the official currency of Ghana, a country located in West Africa. The cedi was introduced in 2007, replacing the previous currency, the Ghanaian cedi (also abbreviated as GHS), at a rate of 1 new cedi to 10,000 old cedis. The currency symbol for the cedi is ₵, and it is subdivided into 100-gana pesewas, which are denoted byGp.

The Bank of Ghana is responsible for issuing and regulating the cedi, ensuring its stability and value in both local and international markets. As Ghana’s economy has grown, largely due to sectors like agriculture, mining, and services, the GHS has fluctuated in value against other currencies. When converting GHS to another currency, various economic factors must be considered, including inflation rates, interest rates, and overall economic stability.

What is São Tomé and Príncipe Dobra (STN)

The dobra (STN) is the official currency of São Tomé and Príncipe, an island nation located in the Gulf of Guinea, off the western coast of Central Africa. The currency was introduced in 1977, replacing the escudo and is abbreviated as STN. The word "dobra" comes from the Portuguese word for "to double," reflecting the currency’s historical ties to Portugal.

The dobra is divided into 100 centavos, but the centavo is rarely used in everyday transactions. The Central Bank of São Tomé and Príncipe is in charge of issuing and maintaining the integrity of the dobra, ensuring it remains stable against foreign currencies. The economy of São Tomé and Príncipe largely relies on agriculture, particularly cocoa and coffee production, as well as fishing and increasingly tourism.

Converting GHS to STN

When converting from Ghanian cedi to São Tomé and Príncipe dobra, it is essential to check the current exchange rate, which fluctuates based on market conditions. As of the latest available data, 1 GHS equals approximately 10 STN; however, this rate can change. To accurately convert GHS to STN, you can use the following formula:

Amount in STN = Amount in GHS × Exchange Rate

For example, if you want to convert 100 GHS to STN using an exchange rate of 10, it would look like this:

Amount in STN = 100 GHS × 10 = 1000 STN
