Franc CFA to Euro exchange rate history
What moves the Franc CFA rate
The Central-African CFA franc is pegged to the euro at a fixed 655.957, like the XOF but not interchangeable. The rate is stable against the euro and tracks EUR/USD against the dollar; CEMAC-zone oil receipts weigh on reserves.
About the Franc CFA
The Central African CFA Franc (XAF, FCFA) is the official currency of the six CEMAC member states — Cameroon, Chad, Central African Republic, Congo-Brazzaville, Equatorial Guinea and Gabon. It is issued by the Bank of Central African States (BEAC) and pegged to the Euro at the fixed rate of 655.957 XAF per 1 EUR. The CFA is theoretically subdivided into 100 centimes, though the centime is no longer in active use. Despite sharing the CFA name, the XAF and the West African XOF are not interchangeable: cross-border payments between the two zones require an FX conversion at the BEAC-BCEAO interbank rate. For mobile-money inflows to MTN MoMo Cameroon and Orange Money in the CEMAC zone, EUR-to-XAF flows benefit from the fixed peg, while USD and GBP flows must cross EUR before converting.
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 routes.
