Converting from Kazakhstan Tenge (KZT) to South Sudanese Pound (SSP)

What is Kazakhstan Tenge (KZT)

The Kazakhstan Tenge (KZT) is the official currency of Kazakhstan, a country located in Central Asia. Introduced in 1993, the Tenge replaced the Soviet Ruble following Kazakhstan's independence from the Soviet Union. The currency is symbolized by "₸" and is subdivided into 100 tiyn. The Tenge was initially pegged to the U.S. dollar, but over the years, it has undergone various exchange rate adjustments, moving to a free-floating system in 2015.

The Tenge is issued by the National Bank of Kazakhstan, which is responsible for regulating its supply and maintaining monetary stability in the country. The value of the Tenge can be influenced by several factors, including global oil prices, as Kazakhstan is a significant oil exporter. Economic reforms and foreign investments also play a crucial role in determining the Tenge's stability and exchange rate.

What is South Sudanese Pound (SSP)

The South Sudanese Pound (SSP) is the official currency of South Sudan, the world’s youngest country, which gained independence from Sudan in 2011. The SSP was introduced to replace the Sudanese Pound (SDG) after South Sudan's separation. Its symbol is "£SS" or sometimes just "£", with one pound being subdivided into 100 piastres.

The Central Bank of South Sudan manages the issuance and regulation of the South Sudanese Pound. Since its introduction, the SSP has faced various challenges, including inflation and depreciation against major currencies. Factors affecting the SSP include economic stability, governmental policies, and the overall infrastructure in a nation that has experienced civil conflict and economic difficulties.
