Converting from Kazakhstan Tenge (KZT) to CFP Franc (XPF)

What is Kazakhstan Tenge (KZT)

Kazakhstan Tenge (KZT) is the official currency of Kazakhstan, a large country located in Central Asia. Introduced in 1993 after the country gained independence from the Soviet Union, the tenge has undergone several changes and revaluations over the years. The word "tenge" means "weight" in the Kazakh language, reflecting its historical ties to the region's trading practices.

The currency is subdivided into 100 tiyn, although tiyn coins are rarely used in daily transactions. Banknotes come in various denominations, including 1,000, 2,000, 5,000, 10,000, 20,000, 50,000, and 100,000 tenge. The Central Bank of Kazakhstan is responsible for issuing and managing the currency, and its value is influenced by factors such as oil prices, inflation rates, and economic stability.

One notable feature of the tenge is its exchange rate, which can fluctuate significantly against major currencies like the US dollar and the euro. This variability makes it essential for anyone dealing with international transactions to stay informed about current exchange rates.

What is CFP Franc (XPF)

The CFP Franc (XPF), also known as the “franc Pacifique,” is the currency used in several French overseas territories in the South Pacific, including French Polynesia, New Caledonia, and Wallis and Futuna. The currency exists in two forms: one used in French territories (XPF) and the other in the associated territory of the French Southern and Antarctic Lands (XPF).

Introduced in 1945, the CFP Franc is pegged to the euro, with a fixed exchange rate of €1 to 119.33 XPF. This pegging helps maintain stability and predictability in transactions involving the currency, which is beneficial for the economies of the territories that use it. The CFP Franc is subdivided into 100 centimes, although centime coins are also rarely used in daily life.

Banknotes of the CFP Franc range from 500 to 10,000 francs, each featuring distinct designs that represent the culture and heritage of the territories. As with any currency, the value of the CFP Franc can be influenced by a range of economic factors, including the health of the tourism sector, trade relations, and the overall economic conditions of the French territories.
