Converting from Malawi Kwacha (MWK) to Lithuanian Lita (LTL)

What is Malawi Kwacha (MWK)

The Malawi Kwacha (MWK) is the official currency of Malawi, a country located in southeastern Africa. The name "Kwacha" means "dawn" in the local language, Chichewa, symbolizing the start of a new day and hope for the nation. The currency was introduced in 1971, replacing the Malawian pound at a rate of 1 Kwacha = 10 pounds.

The Kwacha is subdivided into 100 tambala, which are the smaller units of currency. Various denominations of banknotes and coins exist, with the most common banknotes being MWK 200, 500, 1,000, 2,000, 5,000, and 10,000. Coins are available in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, and 50 tambala, although they are less commonly used today.

The value of the Malawi Kwacha is determined by various economic factors, including inflation, interest rates, and the country's economic performance. In recent years, the Kwacha has faced challenges due to economic instability and inflationary pressures, leading to fluctuations in its exchange rate against major currencies.

What is Lithuanian Lita (LTL)

The Lithuanian Lita (LTL) was the official currency of Lithuania before the country adopted the Euro (EUR) on January 1, 2015. The Lita was first introduced in 1922 and returned in 1993 after Lithuania regained independence from the Soviet Union. The currency symbol for the Lita is "Lt," and it was further subdivided into 100 centų, the smaller unit of currency.

During its time, the Lita was issued in various denominations of banknotes and coins. The banknotes commonly circulated in denominations of LTL 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, and 500. Coins were available in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, and 50 centų, as well as LTL 1, 2, and 5. The Lita served as a stable currency that contributed to Lithuania's economic growth and integration into the Eurozone.

Prior to the adoption of the Euro, the Lithuanian government made considerable efforts to stabilize the Lita's value, including implementing prudent fiscal policies and maintaining a fixed exchange rate to the Euro. The conversion rate was set at LTL 3.4528 to €1 when the Euro was introduced, marking a significant moment in Lithuania's economic history.
