Converting from Mozambican Metical (MZN) to Mauritania Ougulya (MRO)

What is Mozambican Metical (MZN)

The Mozambican Metical (MZN) is the official currency of Mozambique, a country located in southeastern Africa. Introduced in 1980 to replace the previous currency, the Metical was initially pegged to the Portuguese Escudo. The currency symbol for the Metical is MT and it is subdivided into 100 centavos.

The Metical has gone through various changes and redenominations due to inflation and economic conditions, most notably in 2006, when it was replaced by the New Metical (MZN). The exchange rates fluctuate based on the country's economic performance, forex reserves, and global market conditions. The Bank of Mozambique is responsible for issuing and regulating the currency.

In daily transactions, the Metical is used in various forms, both physical and electronic, with coins available in lower denominations and banknotes for larger transactions. The economy of Mozambique relies significantly on agriculture, mining, and tourism, impacting the value of the Metical in the global market.

What is Mauritania Ougulya (MRO)

The Mauritania Ougulya (MRO) is the national currency of Mauritania, a country located in West Africa. The Ougulya was introduced in 1973, replacing the previous currency, the Mauritanian Ouguiya. The currency code for the Ougulya is MRO, and it is subdivided into 5 khoums. The symbol for the Ougulya is often represented as UM.

Similar to the Metical, the Ougulya has undergone redenominations due to economic challenges, with the most significant change occurring in 2018 when the new Ougulya (MRU) was established, withdrawing MRO from circulation at a ratio of 1:10. The Central Bank of Mauritania oversees the issuance and regulation of the Ougulya.

The economy of Mauritania is driven by the mining sector, particularly iron ore, as well as agriculture and fishing. These sectors influence the Ougulya’s value against other currencies, including the Mozambican Metical. The Ougulya is commonly used in cash transactions, with banknotes and coins available in various denominations, making it accessible for both locals and visitors.
