Indian Rupee to Franc CFA exchange rate history
What moves the Franc CFA rate
The West-African CFA franc is pegged to the euro at a fixed 655.957 since 1999, guaranteed by the French Treasury. The rate therefore does not move against the euro; against the dollar it tracks EUR/USD mechanically.
About the Indian Rupee
The Indian Rupee (INR, ₹) is issued by the Reserve Bank of India and is subdivided into 100 paise. India is one of Africa's largest trading partners — bilateral trade is on the order of $100 billion a year, having roughly doubled over five years — so the rupee is a genuine trade currency across the continent, not just a remittance unit. South Africa is India's single largest African trade partner, followed by Nigeria, Egypt, Kenya and others; the goods range from pharmaceuticals and refined petroleum to vehicles, machinery and agricultural products. The rupee also matters to the large Indian-origin communities in Southern and East Africa — well over a million people of Indian descent in South Africa, with significant populations in Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda and Mauritius — who move money and price goods in both directions. Direct INR/Africa interbank quotes are limited, so most rates are computed through the US dollar.
About the Franc CFA
The West African CFA Franc (XOF, FCFA) is the official currency of the eight UEMOA member states — Senegal, Côte d'Ivoire, Mali, Burkina Faso, Benin, Togo, Niger and Guinea-Bissau. It is issued by the Central Bank of West African States (BCEAO) and pegged to the Euro at the fixed rate of 655.957 XOF per 1 EUR — the same parity as the Central African XAF, though the two are not interchangeable. The fixed peg has held continuously since the Euro's launch in 1999. Since 30 September 2025, BCEAO's PI-SPI regional instant-payment system has made individual transfers free and instant across all 8 UEMOA wallets, dramatically reducing the cost of remitting XOF within the union for ordinary users. EUR-XOF flows from the French, Belgian and Italian diaspora are by far the largest UEMOA inbound route.
