Converting from CFA Franc - BEAC (XAF) to Armenian Dram (AMD)

What is CFA Franc - BEAC (XAF)

The CFA Franc - BEAC, abbreviated as XAF, is the currency used in six central African countries that are members of the Economic and Monetary Community of Central Africa (CEMAC). These countries include Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Republic of the Congo, Equatorial Guinea, and Gabon. The CFA Franc was established in 1945 and has undergone various changes since then, but its value remains pegged to the euro.

The CFA Franc - BEAC is managed by the Bank of Central African States (BEAC), which issues the currency and regulates monetary policy for the region. One of the benefits of using a common currency like the XAF is that it facilitates trade within the member countries, reducing the complexities often encountered with multiple currencies. Additionally, the fixed rate to the euro helps maintain stability against inflation and currency depreciation, making it a reliable choice for daily transactions and savings.

What is Armenian Dram (AMD)

The Armenian Dram, denoted as AMD, is the official currency of Armenia. It was first introduced in 1993, following the country’s independence from the Soviet Union. The dram replaced the Soviet ruble at a fixed exchange rate, and since then it has been an essential part of Armenia's economic structure and has gone through several revaluations.

The dram is subdivided into 100 lumas, although lumas are not commonly used in everyday transactions. The Central Bank of Armenia is responsible for issuing and regulating the dram, ensuring price stability and economic growth within the country. The AMD is not pegged to any other currency, which can result in fluctuations in its value against foreign currencies, but it plays a vital role in facilitating both domestic and international trade.
