Converting from CFA Franc - BEAC (XAF) to Macedonian Denar (MKD)

What is CFA Franc - BEAC (XAF)

The CFA Franc - BEAC (XAF) is the currency used by six Central African countries: Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Republic of Congo, Equatorial Guinea, and Gabon. This currency is managed by the Bank of Central African States (BEAC). The CFA Franc was initially established in 1945 and has remained a significant means of transaction in this region.

The currency's name, "CFA," stands for "CFA Franc," which historically referred to the colonies of French West and Equatorial Africa. The "BEAC" distinguishes the currency as specific to the Central African Franc zone. The XAF is fixed to the euro, which means its exchange rate is stable against the euro, providing relative security in international trade and finance.

In practical terms, the XAF has been crucial in maintaining economic stability in the Central African region. Its denominations include coins and banknotes, with common banknotes being in denominations of 1,000, 2,000, 5,000, and 10,000 XAF.

What is Macedonian Denar (MKD)

The Macedonian Denar (MKD) is the currency of North Macedonia. The Denar was introduced in 1992, replacing the Yugoslav dinar as part of the transition to an independent currency following the dissolution of Yugoslavia. The name "Denar" is derived from the historical Roman currency "denarius."

The Denar is managed by the National Bank of North Macedonia, which oversees monetary policy and aims to maintain economic stability. The currency is subdivided into 100 deni, with banknotes typically available in denominations of 10, 50, 100, 500, and 1,000 MKD.

Similar to the XAF, the exchange rate of the MKD is influenced by various economic factors, making it important for exchange rate calculations when converting to different currencies. The MKD is also pegged to the euro, which helps maintain its value against major global currencies.
