The West African CFA franc (ISO 4217 code: XOF) is issued by the Banque Centrale des États de l'Afrique de l'Ouest (BCEAO), headquartered in Dakar. Like its Central African counterpart, it is pegged to the euro at the fixed rate of 1 EUR = 655.957 XOF since 1 January 1999. France, through the Treasury, guarantees the unlimited convertibility of the XOF into euros, ensuring a monetary stability rare on the African continent.
The BCEAO zone is one of the most dynamic in sub-Saharan Africa: Dakar is a major regional hub for finance and services, Abidjan is the economic capital of Francophone West Africa, and Lomé is a strategic port. Paris is home to one of the largest Senegalese and Ivorian diasporas in Europe, creating a constant demand for XOF at Paris Change.
