Converting from South Korean Won (KRW) to Yemen Riyal (YER)

What is South Korean Won (KRW)

The South Korean Won (KRW) is the official currency of South Korea, used by its approximately 52 million citizens. The currency is denoted by the symbol ₩ and is subdivided into smaller units called jeon, although the latter is rarely used in daily transactions. The Bank of Korea (BOK) is responsible for issuing and controlling the currency, ensuring economic stability and liquidity in the country.

The Won has undergone several changes since its introduction in 1902. The current form of the currency was introduced in 1953 after the Korean War, when a new won was issued to replace the old one at a rate of 100 to 1. The KRW is a floating currency, meaning its value is determined by market forces, primarily supply and demand in foreign exchange markets. Economic indicators such as inflation, interest rates, and trade balances can significantly impact the value of the South Korean Won in international markets.

What is Yemen Riyal (YER)

The Yemen Riyal (YER) is the official currency of Yemen, used by its population of over 30 million people. The currency is represented by the symbol ﷼. The Central Bank of Yemen oversees the issuance and regulation of the ryial, which has gone through various changes over the years, particularly in response to regional conflicts and economic instability.

The Yemen Riyal has faced significant devaluation over time due to economic challenges, including civil unrest, currency inflation, and declining oil revenues, which have adversely affected the country's economy. The current banknotes are issued in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 500, and 1,000 riyals. Understanding the YER's value in comparison to other currencies is crucial for anyone dealing in international trade or traveling to Yemen.
