Converting from CFP Franc (XPF) to Pakistani Rupee (PKR)

What is CFP Franc (XPF)

The CFP Franc (XPF) is the official currency used in several French overseas territories in the South Pacific, including French Polynesia, New Caledonia, and Wallis and Futuna. It was created in 1945 and is pegged to the Euro. Specifically, the conversion rate has been set at 1 Euro = 119.331 CFP Francs, providing stability in its value. The CFP Franc is represented by the code XPF and, although it is not as widely recognized as major currencies like the US Dollar or Euro, it is vital for local economies in these island territories.

The CFP Franc is subdivided into 100 centimes, but the use of centimes in everyday transactions has diminished. Coins are available in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, and 100 francs, while banknotes come in denominations of 500, 1,000, 5,000, and 10,000 francs. Understanding the CFP Franc is essential if you are traveling or conducting business in these territories.

What is Pakistani Rupee (PKR)

The Pakistani Rupee (PKR) is the currency of Pakistan, introduced in 1948 after the country gained independence. It is symbolized as "Rs" and is further subdivided into 100 paisas. The PKR is regulated by the State Bank of Pakistan, which manages the country’s monetary policy and ensures currency stability.

The Pakistani Rupee has undergone several changes in terms of its value due to inflation and economic factors. The currency is available in both coins and banknotes, with banknotes commonly found in denominations of Rs 10, Rs 20, Rs 50, Rs 100, Rs 500, Rs 1,000, and Rs 5,000. Due to its relatively high inflation rate, the PKR often experiences fluctuations against various currencies, including the CFP Franc.
