Converting from Malawi Kwacha (MWK) to Georgian Lari (GEL)

What is Malawi Kwacha (MWK)

The Malawi Kwacha (MWK) is the official currency of Malawi, a landlocked country located in southeastern Africa. Introduced in 1971, the Kwacha replaced the Malawian pound at a rate of 1 Kwacha = 1 Pound. The name "Kwacha" is derived from a word in the local Chichewa language, meaning "to dawn" or "to begin," symbolizing a new beginning for the country at that time.

The currency is subdivided into 100 tambala, which are its smaller units. Coins are available in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, and 50 tambala, as well as 1, 2, 5, and 10 Kwacha. Banknotes, issued in denominations of 20, 50, 100, 200, 500, and 1000 Kwacha, feature notable Malawian figures, landscapes, and cultural symbols.

The kwacha is subjected to market forces, and its value can fluctuate significantly due to economic factors such as inflation, changes in commodity prices, and shifts in foreign investment. As a result, transactions involving the kwacha can be subject to varying exchange rates when converting to other currencies.

What is Georgian Lari (GEL)

The Georgian Lari (GEL) is the official currency of Georgia, a country located at the intersection of Eastern Europe and Western Asia. The Lari was introduced in 1995, replacing the Georgian coupon at an exchange rate of 1 Lari = 1 coupon. The name "Lari" comes from the Georgian language and is connected to the word "lari," meaning “money.”

The Lari is subdivided into 100 tetri, which serve as its minor unit. Coins come in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50 tetri, and 1, 2, and 5 Lari. The banknotes are available in 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, and 200 Lari, featuring prominent historical figures and symbols from Georgian culture and heritage.

Like the Malawi Kwacha, the Georgian Lari's value is also influenced by various economic factors. The exchange rate can shift based on inflation rates, trade balance, and current economic conditions both locally and globally. It is essential for travelers and businesses engaging in transactions between Malawi and Georgia to stay informed about the latest exchange rates.
