Converting from CFP Franc (XPF) to Sudanese Pound (SDG)

What is CFP Franc (XPF)

The CFP Franc (XPF) is a currency used in various French overseas territories in the South Pacific, including French Polynesia, New Caledonia, and Wallis and Futuna. The currency is named after the "Communauté Financière du Pacifique," which translates to the Financial Community of the Pacific.

Originally established in 1945, the CFP Franc has maintained a stable exchange rate, primarily pegged to the Euro (EUR) at a fixed rate of 1 XPF = 0.0084 EUR. The currency is subdivided into 100 centimes, although the centime is rarely used in practice. The banknotes come in denominations of 500, 1,000, 5,000, and 10,000 francs, and the coins are available in denominations of 1, 2, 5, 10, 20, 50, 100, and 200 francs. This stability makes the CFP Franc a reliable currency for residents and visitors in these territories.

What is Sudanese Pound (SDG)

The Sudanese Pound (SDG) is the official currency of Sudan, introduced in 2011 after the secession of South Sudan. The SDG replaced the Sudanese dinar at a rate of 1 SDG = 1,000 SDG (taking the dinar into account) and is subdivided into 100 piastres.

The currency has gone through several changes and challenges due to economic issues, inflation, and sanctions. As a result, the exchange rate for the Sudanese Pound can be volatile, and the value fluctuates significantly against other currencies, including the CFP Franc. As of recent years, the country has been transitioning toward a more market-oriented economy, which has impacted the strength of the SDG.
