Converting from Paraguayan Guarani (PYG) to Venezuelan Bolivar Fuerte (VEF)

What is Paraguayan Guarani (PYG)

Paraguayan Guarani (PYG) is the official currency of Paraguay, a landlocked country situated in the heart of South America. The currency was named after the Guarani people, who are indigenous to the region. The symbol for the Guarani is often written as "G" or sometimes simply as "₲."

The Guarani is divided into 100 smaller units called "céntimos," though these are rarely used in daily transactions. The central bank of Paraguay, known as the Banco Central del Paraguay, issues and regulates the currency. The Guarani has undergone various changes throughout its history, especially during periods of economic instability.

The exchange rates can fluctuate based on various economic factors, including inflation rates, interest rates, and the overall economic conditions of Paraguay. As a result, the value of the PYG may vary significantly in the global market.

What is Venezuelan Bolivar Fuerte (VEF)

The Venezuelan Bolivar Fuerte (VEF) is the currency used in Venezuela. It was introduced in 2008 as part of an effort to stabilize the economy and combat hyperinflation that plagued the previous currency, the Bolívar. The term "Fuerte" translates to "strong," which reflects the government's intention to create a more stable monetary unit. The symbol for the Bolivar Fuerte is represented as "Bs.F."

The Bolivar Fuerte is divided into 100 céntimos. However, similar to the Guarani, the smaller denominations are not frequently used in everyday transactions due to inflation and economic volatility. The Central Bank of Venezuela (Banco Central de Venezuela) is responsible for the issuance and regulation of the Bolivar Fuerte.

Unfortunately, Venezuela has faced severe economic challenges, including hyperinflation, which has led to continuous updates in the currency system. In 2018, the government introduced a new currency, the Bolívar Soberano, effectively replacing the Bolivar Fuerte at an exchange rate of 100,000 VEF to 1 VES (Bolivar Soberano). Despite this name change, many people still refer to older denominations due to their familiarity.
