Converting from Peruvian Nuevo Sol (PEN) to Venezuelan bolívar soberano (VES)

What is Peruvian Nuevo Sol (PEN)

The Peruvian Nuevo Sol, abbreviated as PEN, is the official currency of Peru. It was introduced in 1991, replacing the Peruvian intis at a rate of 1 nuevo sol for 1,000 intis. The symbol for the nuevo sol is S/.

The Peruvian economy is considered one of the fastest-growing in the region, largely due to its strong agricultural sector, increased mining activities, and a focus on export-oriented growth. As a result, the nuevo sol has remained relatively stable compared to other Latin American currencies.

The central bank of Peru, known as the Banco Central de Reserva del Perú (BCRP), manages the currency and implements monetary policy aimed at achieving economic stability. The nuevo sol is divided into 100 céntimos, which is the smaller denomination. Banknotes are available in various denominations, ranging from 10 to 200 soles, while coins come in 5, 10, 20, and 50 céntimos, as well as 1 and 5 soles.

What is Venezuelan bolívar soberano (VES)

The Venezuelan bolívar soberano, abbreviated as VES, is the current currency of Venezuela. It was introduced in August 2018, following an economic crisis that prompted a redenomination of the previous bolívar fuerte. The new bolívar soberano replaced the old currency at a conversion rate of 1 bolívar soberano for 100,000 bolívar fuertes.

The bolívar soberano is symbolized as Bs.S. and denominated in subunits called céntimos, with 100 céntimos making up one bolívar soberano. The value of the bolívar soberano has fluctuated significantly due to hyperinflation, political instability, and economic mismanagement. This has led to extreme devaluations and a continuously changing exchange rate.

Venezuela’s economy has faced significant challenges, including a decline in oil production, which is the country’s primary source of revenue. These economic difficulties have resulted in the bolívar soberano consistently losing value against other major currencies. To combat this hyperinflation, the Venezuelan government has attempted various measures, including the introduction of cryptocurrencies and foreign exchange controls.
