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 XOF (West African CFA Franc)?

The shared currency of 8 West African countries (the West African Economic and Monetary Union), pegged to the euro at a fixed 655.957 XOF = 1 EUR under a monetary cooperation agreement with the French Treasury.

Key Facts

  • ISO code: XOF
  • Symbol: CFA
  • Subunit: 100 centimes = 1 franc
  • Issued by: Central Bank of West African States (BCEAO)

Why Does the INR/XOF Exchange Rate Change?

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

  • The Euro peg itself - XOF is fixed at 655.957 XOF = 1 EUR under a monetary cooperation agreement with the French Treasury, so INR/XOF moves almost entirely in step with INR/EUR.
  • Everything that moves INR/EUR (ECB policy, eurozone data, dollar strength spillover) therefore also moves INR/XOF.
  • The 8 West African Economic and Monetary Union member countries' combined trade and fiscal conditions, managed collectively by the BCEAO.
  • India-West Africa trade, a smaller but growing relationship, notably in cashews, textiles and pharmaceuticals.
  • Ongoing regional political debate over the CFA franc arrangement itself, including proposals from some member states to move to a new currency (the "eco") - a real, if slow-moving, structural risk to the peg.
  • 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 West African CFA Franc pegged to the Euro?

Yes, at a fixed 655.957 XOF = 1 EUR, guaranteed under a monetary cooperation agreement with the French Treasury. Because of that, INR/XOF moves almost entirely in step with INR/EUR.

Which countries use the West African CFA Franc?

Eight countries in the West African Economic and Monetary Union: Benin, Burkina Faso, Ivory Coast, Guinea-Bissau, Mali, Niger, Senegal and Togo, all sharing this one currency under the Central Bank of West African States (BCEAO).

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.
