The currency is represented by the symbol "CFP" and shares its ISO currency code with the XPF abbreviation.

The value of the CFP Franc is influenced by various factors, including local economic conditions, tourism, and import/export activities. These factors can affect exchange rates with multiple currencies, including the Jamaican Dollar (JMD). Thus, when converting XPF to JMD, it's crucial to consider these elements for an accurate assessment.
