Related Data

What is INR (Indian Rupee)?

A managed float, not pegged to any other currency - the RBI lets the market set its value but occasionally buys or sells dollars to smooth out sharp swings.

Key Facts

  • ISO code: INR
  • Symbol: โ‚น
  • Subunit: 100 paise = 1 rupee
  • Issued by: Reserve Bank of India (RBI)

What is XAF (Central African CFA Franc)?

The shared currency of 6 Central African countries, pegged to the euro at the same fixed 655.957 XAF = 1 EUR rate as its West African counterpart (XOF) - a separate currency with its own central bank, not interchangeable with XOF despite the identical peg.

Key Facts

  • ISO code: XAF
  • Symbol: FCFA
  • Subunit: 100 centimes = 1 franc
  • Issued by: Bank of Central African States (BEAC)

Why Does the INR/XAF Exchange Rate Change?

The INR/XAF rate moves every trading day, driven mainly by:

  • The Euro peg itself - XAF is fixed at the same 655.957 XAF = 1 EUR rate as its West African counterpart, so INR/XAF moves almost entirely in step with INR/EUR.
  • Everything that moves INR/EUR (ECB policy, eurozone data, dollar strength spillover) therefore also moves INR/XAF.
  • The 6 Central African member countries' combined oil, timber and mineral export revenue, managed collectively by the BEAC.
  • India-Central Africa trade, notably in energy and mineral resources.
  • The same regional political debate over the CFA franc arrangement that affects XOF, given the shared peg mechanism.
  • RBI intervention and rupee-side factors - since the peg holds, essentially all of this pair's real movement traces back to the rupee side (and the euro side).

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the Central African CFA Franc the same currency as the West African CFA Franc?

No, despite sharing the same name and the identical 655.957-per-euro peg rate, XAF and XOF are separate currencies issued by separate central banks (BEAC for Central Africa, BCEAO for West Africa) and aren't directly interchangeable, even though they're worth the same amount.

Which countries use the Central African CFA Franc?

Six countries: Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Congo-Brazzaville, Equatorial Guinea and Gabon, all sharing this currency under the Bank of Central African States (BEAC).

Is this the bank rate or forex rate?

It's the mid-market rate, the midpoint between the buy and sell price on the global currency market, with no margin added. Banks, forex counters and card networks add their own markup on top, so the rate you're actually charged when exchanging cash or paying by card abroad will differ, usually by 1 to 4 percent in their favor.

How often is the rate updated?

Once a day, refreshed at 7:00 AM IST from the Frankfurter API.

Where do these rates come from?

Frankfurter (frankfurter.dev), a free exchange-rate API that blends official reference rates from multiple central banks rather than relying on a single source.

Can I use this rate for an actual currency conversion?

Use it as a reference for roughly what you should be getting, not as the exact rate you'll receive. An actual transaction, a bank transfer, cash exchange, or a card payment abroad, goes through your bank or exchange provider's own rate, which includes their margin and any transaction fees.
