Converting from Venezuelan Bolivar Fuerte (VEF) to Swaziland Lilageni (SZL)

What is Venezuelan Bolivar Fuerte (VEF)

The Venezuelan Bolivar Fuerte (VEF) was the official currency of Venezuela from 2008 until the introduction of the new bolívar in 2018. The VEF was created to replace the earlier Bolivar at a rate of 1 VEF = 1,000 BOL. The currency symbol for the Bolivar Fuerte is Bs.F. The introduction of the VEF was part of an effort to combat hyperinflation and stabilize the economy during a time of significant financial crisis.

However, despite the intentions behind its introduction, the Bolivar Fuerte has faced severe inflationary pressures, with devaluation becoming a significant issue. The Venezuelan economy has continued to struggle, resulting in fluctuating exchange rates and difficulties in making conversions to other currencies. Given the current economic situation in Venezuela, it's essential for individuals and businesses to be aware of the challenges involved in currency exchange and the unstable nature of the VEF.
