Converting from Guyana Dollar (GYD) to Mozambican Metical (MZN)

What is Guyana Dollar (GYD)

The Guyana Dollar (GYD) is the official currency of Guyana, a country located on the northeastern coast of South America. Introduced in 1839, the GYD replaced the Guiana dollar and has undergone several changes in value and form over the years. The currency is abbreviated as GYD, and it is subdivided into 100 cents.

The symbol for the Guyana Dollar is often represented as "G＄" to differentiate it from other dollar-denominated currencies. The Central Bank of Guyana is responsible for issuing and regulating the currency, ensuring stability and trust in its value.

The Guyana Dollar is influenced by various factors including the country’s economy, political situation, and global financial markets. Key industries in Guyana, such as agriculture and mining, play a vital role in the economy, which in turn affects the value of its currency. As of 2023, economic growth, particularly from the oil sector, has led to fluctuations in GYD's exchange rate in relation to other currencies.

What is Mozambican Metical (MZN)

The Mozambican Metical (MZN) is the official currency of Mozambique, a country located in southeastern Africa. The name "metical" originates from the Arabic word "mītqāl," referring to a weight measure used for precious metals. The current version of the metical was introduced in 2006, replacing the old metical (MZM) at a conversion rate of 1 new metical to 1,000 old meticals. The metical is abbreviated as MZN and is subdivided into 100 centavos.

The Central Bank of Mozambique manages the issuance and regulation of the Metical, similar to the role the Central Bank of Guyana plays for the GYD. The exchange rate of the metical can often be volatile due to economic factors such as inflation, trade balance, and government policies. Mozambique's economy heavily relies on sectors like agriculture, tourism, and natural resources, all of which affect the strength of the MZN in the international market.
