Japanese Yen to Euro exchange rate history
About the Japanese Yen
The Japanese Yen (JPY, ¥) is issued by the Bank of Japan and, unlike most currencies, has no minor unit in everyday use — amounts are quoted in whole yen, so a price is written as ¥10,000 with no decimal places. The yen is one of the world's most-traded currencies and a traditional safe-haven, which makes it relatively liquid against African currencies even though direct JPY/Africa interbank markets are thin and most rates are derived through the US dollar. For African importers the yen matters most in two arenas: capital goods and machinery (Japan is a major supplier of vehicles, plant and electronics across the continent), and the used-vehicle trade, where Japan is the dominant export source for right-hand-drive markets in Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia and beyond. Because the per-unit yen value is small against currencies like the naira or shilling, buyers usually convert in tens of thousands of yen.
About the Euro
The Euro (EUR, €) is the official currency of 20 European Union member states and the anchor of one of the most consequential fixed-peg arrangements in African monetary history. The Euro is issued by the European Central Bank in Frankfurt and is the second-largest reserve currency after the USD. Two African monetary unions — the West African Economic and Monetary Union (UEMOA / XOF) and the Central African Economic and Monetary Community (CEMAC / XAF) — peg their CFA francs to the EUR at the fixed rate of 655.957 CFA = 1 EUR. The peg has been in continuous operation since the 1999 introduction of the Euro, and replaced the prior French franc peg. For diaspora remitters in France, Belgium, Italy, Spain, Portugal and Germany, the EUR is the dominant send currency for the WAEMU and CEMAC corridors.
