Sierra Leone is known for its rich natural resources, including diamonds, gold, and titanium.

Consequently, the value of the Leone has fluctuated significantly over the years due to inflation and economic instability. As of 2023, the Leone's purchasing power is relatively low compared to many other global currencies, making it important for individuals and businesses to stay informed about its value in relation to other currencies, including the Singapore Dollar.
