Converting from Cayman Islands Dollar (KYD) to Mozambican Metical (MZN)

What is Cayman Islands Dollar (KYD)

The Cayman Islands Dollar (KYD) is the official currency of the Cayman Islands, a British Overseas Territory located in the Caribbean Sea. The currency symbol for the KYD is "＄," and its ISO code is KYD. It was introduced in 1972, replacing the Jamaican Dollar at a rate of 1 KYD to 1.20 Jamaican Dollars.

The Cayman Islands has a strong economy largely driven by tourism, financial services, and real estate investment. With no direct taxes like income tax, corporate tax, or capital gains tax, the KYD is considered a stable and attractive currency for both residents and foreign investors. The economic stability of the Cayman Islands, combined with its financial regulations, has helped the KYD maintain its value against other currencies.

The KYD is subdivided into 100 cents, and the currency comes in both coins and banknotes. Coins are available in denominations of 1, 5, 10, 25 cents, and ＄1, while banknotes come in ＄1, ＄5, ＄10, ＄25, ＄50, and ＄100 denominations. Because of the Cayman Islands’ financial standing, the KYD is frequently used in international transactions and is a popular choice among traders and investors in the Caribbean.

What is Mozambican Metical (MZN)

The Mozambican Metical (MZN) is the official currency of Mozambique, a country located on the southeastern coast of Africa. The currency symbol for the MZN is MT and its ISO code is MZN. The metical was first introduced in 1980, replacing the Mozambican escudo at a rate of 1 metical for 1,000 escudos.

Mozambique's economy is primarily based on agriculture, natural resources, and increasingly, tourism. The MZN reflects the economic growth and challenges of the country, with its value being subject to inflation and the overall stability of the national economy. Over the years, the metical has undergone several redenominations to cope with inflation, with the most recent occurring in 2006, when 1 new metical (MZN) was defined as equal to 1,000 old meticals.

The MZN is divided into 100 centavos. Although the currency is subject to fluctuation, the Government of Mozambique continues to work towards stabilizing its value through various economic reforms. Factors such as international commodity prices, political stability, and monetary policy significantly influence the currency’s exchange rate.
