Converting from CFA Franc - BCEAO (XOF) to Mongolian Tugrik (MNT)

What is CFA Franc - BCEAO (XOF)

The CFA Franc - BCEAO (XOF) is the currency used by eight West African countries that are part of the West African Economic and Monetary Union (WAEMU). Established in 1945, this currency facilitates trade and economic activities in member states, which include Benin, Burkina Faso, Côte d'Ivoire, Guinea-Bissau, Mali, Niger, Senegal, and Togo. The central bank responsible for issuing and managing the CFA Franc is the Central Bank of West African States (BCEAO).

The CFA Franc is pegged to the euro, which maintains its stability and helps control inflation in the region. The currency is subdivided into 100 centimes, though centime coins are rarely used in everyday transactions. The symbol for the CFA Franc is CFA, and its ISO code is XOF.

One of the key features of the CFA Franc is its use as a stable currency in a region that has seen significant fluctuations in economic stability and governmental policies. The fixed exchange rate to the euro provides predictability for traders and businesses, promoting regional trade and investment.

What is Mongolian Tugrik (MNT)

The Mongolian Tugrik (MNT) is the official currency of Mongolia, introduced in 1925. The Tugrik is subdivided into 100 moos, although moos are not used in daily transactions today. Represented by the symbol ₮, the Tugrik's ISO code is MNT.

The value of the Tugrik has undergone substantial changes, influenced by Mongolia's transition to a market economy after the end of Soviet influence in the early 1990s. The currency is subject to fluctuations due to various factors, including inflation, political stability, and economic performance. Consequently, the Tugrik is often compared against the US dollar and other major currencies for exchange rates and trading purposes.

Mongolia’s economy is largely driven by the mining sector, agriculture, and livestock production, and these elements significantly impact the Tugrik's value. As a result, the currency's strength can vary based on global commodity prices and local economic conditions.
