Converting from Somali Shilling (SOS) to Mauritania Ougulya (MRO)

What is Somali Shilling (SOS)

The Somali Shilling (SOS) is the official currency of Somalia. It was introduced in 1962 and is subdivided into 100 cents. The symbol for the Somali Shilling is "So". The currency has experienced significant fluctuations and challenges over the years, especially due to the country's political instability and economic issues. As of now, the Somali Shilling is used in various denominations, both in coins and banknotes, with notes ranging from 1,000 SOS to 10,000 SOS.

The value of the Somali Shilling can be influenced by several factors including supply and demand, economic policies, and regional stability. In recent decades, Somalia has been working to strengthen its economy, and the Central Bank of Somalia is undertaking measures to stabilize the currency. However, like many currencies in countries facing economic difficulties, the exchange rate against other currencies can vary widely.

What is Mauritania Ougulya (MRO)

The Mauritania Ougulya (MRO) is the currency of Mauritania, a country located in West Africa. The Ougulya was introduced in 1973, replacing the Mauritanian ouguiya at a rate of one Ougulya for 5,000 ouguiyas. The currency is subdivided into 5 khoums, and its symbol is "UM". The Central Bank of Mauritania is responsible for issuing and regulating the Ougulya.

Mauritania has also faced economic challenges, and the exchange rate for the Ougulya is determined by market conditions. While the country has rich natural resources, particularly in minerals and fisheries, fluctuations in global commodity prices can have a significant impact on the Mauritian economy and, consequently, on the Ougulya's value.
