Converting from Haiti Gourde (HTG) to São Tomé and Príncipe Dobra (STN)

What is Haiti Gourde (HTG)

The Haiti Gourde (HTG) is the official currency of Haiti, a country located on the western part of the island of Hispaniola in the Caribbean. The currency symbol for the gourde is HTG, and it is divided into 100 centimes, although the centime is rarely used in everyday transactions. The gourde has a storied history, having been introduced in 1813, replacing the previous currency, the Spanish dollar.

Haiti's economy is diverse, primarily driven by agriculture, manufacturing, and services. The value of the Haitian gourde has fluctuated over the years due to various factors like political instability, natural disasters, and inflation. The Central Bank of Haiti, known as the Banque de la République d'Haïti (BRH), is responsible for issuing and regulating the currency.

Conversions from HTG to other currencies can be performed, but the exchange rates vary frequently due to market conditions. Understanding these rates is essential for travelers and businesses involved in trading with Haitian currency.

The currency is denoted by the symbol DB and is subdivided into 100 cêntimos.

São Tomé and Príncipe has a predominantly agricultural economy, relying heavily on cocoa and palm oil exports. Over the years, the economy has faced challenges, including the need for diversification and issues related to infrastructure. The Central Bank of São Tomé and Príncipe oversees the issuance of the dobra and is responsible for maintaining its value against other currencies.

The exchange rate of the STN, similar to HTG, changes regularly, influenced by economic and market trends. For those wishing to convert between currencies, understanding the current exchange rates is crucial.
