The first thing you need to understand about currencies is that they hardly ever have consistent values. This is partially caused by unforeseen fluctuations in exchange rates, which can be advantageous or unfavorable.
As per Investopedia, “exchange rates have a substantial influence on companies’ operations and profitability. Exchange rate volatility affects not just multinationals and large corporations, but it also affects small and medium-sized enterprises, including those who only operate in their home country. While understanding and managing exchange rate risk is a subject of obvious importance to business owners, investors should also be familiar with it because of the huge impact it can have on their holdings.”
As you are probably aware, an exchange rate is essentially the value of one currency when it is exchanged to another during trade. Due to its widespread use in global trade, the dollar, for instance, is currently the benchmark currency that is most widely recognised. Because of this, the top 10 African currencies are essentially those with the highest values when converted to the dollar, or any other widely used currency for that matter.
