Converting from Malawi Kwacha (MWK) to Ethiopian Birr (ETB)

What is Malawi Kwacha (MWK)

The Malawi Kwacha (MWK) is the official currency of Malawi, a landlocked country located in southeastern Africa. It was introduced in 1971, replacing the Malawi pound at a rate of two kwachas for one pound. The name "Kwacha" is derived from a local word that means "dawn," symbolizing the country's progress and new beginnings.

The Malawi Kwacha is subdivided into 100 tambala, although in practice, tambala coins are rarely used due to inflation and devaluation over the years. The Central Bank of Malawi is responsible for issuing and regulating the currency.

In recent years, the value of the Malawi Kwacha has fluctuated against major currencies due to various economic challenges. Inflation, trade imbalances, and fluctuations in foreign exchange rates have influenced the kwacha's exchange rate.

The National Bank of Ethiopia oversees the production and regulation of the Birr.
