The South African rand (ISO 4217 code: ZAR, symbol R) is the official currency of the Republic of South Africa, managed by the South African Reserve Bank (SARB). The EUR/ZAR rate is influenced by commodity prices (gold, platinum, coal, of which South Africa is a major exporter), regional geopolitical risks and the monetary policies of the ECB and the SARB.
South Africa is a flagship destination for European travellers drawn to safaris in the Kruger Park, the Garden Route, the Cape Winelands and the beaches of the south coast. The rand generally offers favourable purchasing power for European tourists, but it remains a volatile currency: exchanging at the right moment can make a significant difference.
