Converting from Turkmenistan Manat (TMT) to CFA Franc - BCEAO (XOF)

What is Turkmenistan Manat (TMT)

The Turkmenistan Manat (TMT) is the official currency of Turkmenistan, a country located in Central Asia. The Manat was introduced in 1993, replacing the previous currency known as the Turkmenistani Soviet Ruble. The symbol for the Manat is "m" and it is subdivided into 100 tenga.

As a relatively new currency, the TMT has undergone several changes and redenominations since its introduction, primarily to stabilize its value against inflation. The current Manat is marked by banknotes and coins, which feature various designs symbolizing Turkmenistan's rich culture and history, such as the country’s national emblem.

The Central Bank of Turkmenistan is responsible for issuing and regulating the currency. Although Turkmenistan is not widely known as a tourist destination, the Manat is used for all local transactions, including shopping, services, and more. As a result, understanding its value and exchange rates against other currencies is essential for both residents and visitors.

What is CFA Franc - BCEAO (XOF)

The CFA Franc - BCEAO (XOF) is a currency used in several West African countries that are part of the West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU). The "BCEAO" stands for "Banque Centrale des États de l'Afrique de l'Ouest," which translates to "Central Bank of West African States." The CFA Franc was originally established in 1945 and has been an essential currency for trade and commerce in the region.

The CFA Franc is pegged to the Euro, meaning that its value is tied to that of the Euro at a fixed rate. This peg helps maintain stability in the CFA Franc, promoting trade and investment among the member countries, such as Senegal, Mali, and Burkina Faso. The currency is subdivided into 100 centimes, although centimes are not commonly used anymore due to inflation.

Banknotes of the CFA Franc often showcase notable historical figures and cultural artifacts from the member countries. The BCEAO plays a crucial role in ensuring monetary policy, regulating exchange rates, and managing inflation within the currency zone, which contributes to economic stability across multiple West African nations.
