Converting from Venezuelan bolívar soberano (VES) to Cape Verde Escudo (CVE)

What is Venezuelan bolívar soberano (VES)

The Venezuelan bolívar soberano (VES) is the official currency of Venezuela, introduced on August 20, 2018, as part of the government’s efforts to stabilize the economy. It replaced the previous currency, the bolívar fuerte (VEF), at a rate of 1 bolívar soberano to 100,000 bolívares fuertes. The introduction of the bolívar soberano was meant to curtail hyperinflation and to simplify transactions in a country that has faced significant economic challenges.

The bolívar soberano is subdivided into 100 céntimos. However, due to ongoing hyperinflation, the practical use of céntimos has diminished. The currency features different banknotes and coins, with denominations ranging from 2 bolívares soberanos up to 100 bolívares soberanos. Despite its introduction, Venezuela has continued to experience economic difficulties, resulting in complex currency exchange scenarios. As of now, many Venezuelans also use other currencies, primarily the US dollar, for everyday transactions.

What is Cape Verde Escudo (CVE)

The Cape Verde Escudo (CVE) is the official currency of Cape Verde, an island nation located off the northwest coast of Africa. The escudo has been in circulation since 1930, and it is subdivided into 100 centavos. The currency plays a crucial role in facilitating trade and tourism in Cape Verde, known for its beautiful beaches and vibrant culture.

The CVE is issued and regulated by the Bank of Cape Verde, which has suffered somewhat from the economic pressures of globalization but has generally maintained a stable value compared to other currencies. The banknotes and coins come in various denominations, with common banknotes including 200, 500, 1,000, and 2,000 escudos. The Cape Verdean economy relies significantly on tourism, agriculture, and remittances from citizens living abroad, making the escudo an essential part of local commerce.
