Converting from CFP Franc (XPF) to Angolan Kwanza (AOA)

What is CFP Franc (XPF)

The CFP Franc, abbreviated as XPF, is the official currency used in several French territories in the South Pacific, including French Polynesia, New Caledonia, and the French Southern and Antarctic Lands. The currency is named after the "Colonies Françaises du Pacifique" (French Colonies of the Pacific) and has been in use since 1945.

One of the unique features of the CFP Franc is its fixed exchange rate to the euro, which is set at €1 = 119.33 XPF. This means that the value of the CFP Franc is closely linked to the euro, providing some stability to its value. The XPF is subdivided into 100 centimes, although centime coins are rarely used in practice today.

The CFP Franc is particularly important for the local economies where it is used, as it facilitates trade and provides a medium for exchanging goods and services among inhabitants and tourists. It is further supported by the French government, allowing for a stable economic environment in the territories it serves.

What is Angolan Kwanza (AOA)

The Angolan Kwanza, denoted as AOA, is the official currency of Angola, a country located in southern Africa. Introduced in 1977, the kwanza replaced the Angolan escudo at a rate of 1 kwanza = 1,000 escudos. The current version of the kwanza, known as the new kwanza (Kz), was introduced in 1999 as part of a revaluation effort to curb hyperinflation.

The Angolan Kwanza is subdivided into 100 cêntimos. The currency has gone through several transformations, reflecting Angola's dynamic economic environment, which is influenced by oil and mineral resources. A significant portion of Angola's economy relies on export revenues from oil, making the kwanza sensitive to fluctuations in global oil prices.

The currency is managed by the Banco Nacional de Angola (BNA), which is responsible for formulating monetary policies and ensuring economic stability. Like many emerging market currencies, the kwanza can experience volatility depending on domestic and international market conditions.
