What is CFP Franc (XPF)

The CFP Franc (XPF) is a currency used in several Pacific territories, including French Polynesia, New Caledonia, and the Wallis and Futuna islands. Its name comes from "Colonies Francaises du Pacifique," indicating its origins in French colonial history.

The currency operates in subunits known as centimes, where 100 centimes equal 1 CFP Franc. The symbol for the CFP Franc is often displayed as "F" or "CFP," but its ISO code is XPF. Since it is a regional currency that does not circulate outside its territories, visitors may need to exchange their funds for XPF when traveling to these areas.

The value of the CFP Franc can fluctuate based on the economic conditions in the Eurozone since it is pegged to the euro. This pegs XPF to the euro at a rate of approximately 1 EUR = 119.33 XPF. Therefore, when converting XPF to other currencies, like the Bahraini Dinar, the conversion rate can be affected by the euro's performance against those currencies.
