Top 10 Strongest Currencies in Africa at the Moment

In this article, I will be revealing to you the strongest currencies in Africa presently, and particularly the ones that made the top 10 list. Their strength is ascertained from their current exchange rate against the United State’s Dollars. These are some of the important explanations you will find in this article as you read on.

There are many African currencies higher than Naira, so you should not be amazed that the Nigerian Naira did not make the top 10 list of strongest currencies in Africa. Having this in mind, let me, first of all, introduce to you the important thing you should know about currency exchange rates, and how it affects their strength.

Important Things You Should Know About Exchange Rates

The first thing you should know about various currencies in the world is that their values are hardly constant. This is partly a result of the unexpected movements in exchange rates, which can either be favorable or not. For instance, when you check the Dollar to Naira exchange rate in Nigeria today, you will discover differences in values from the rates of last week, or previous months.

Exchange rates have a big influence on the operations and profitability of companies. The volatility affects not just large corporations, but also small and medium enterprises. While understanding and managing exchange rate risk is an important subject matter to business owners, investors should also have good knowledge about it because of the huge impact it can have on their holdings.

As you may already know, the exchange rate simply means the value of a currency when converted to another during the trade. The United State’s Dollar (USD), for instance, is currently the most universally accepted benchmark currency because it is widely used during international trade. That is why the top 10 strongest currencies in Africa are basically currencies with the highest values when converted to the Dollar, or any other universally accepted currency.
