How to read the GNF rate history
The chart plots the parallel buy rate — how many GNF it took to buy one US dollar — at each point we recorded. The daily table below lists the closing buy and sell rate for each day, while the monthly table summarises the average, high and low for each month, which is useful for comparing one period with another.
A rising line means the Guinean Franc is losing value (more GNF per dollar); a falling line means it is gaining. Over this window the spread between the high (9,331) and the low (8,600) shows how volatile the market has been — here, roughly 0.9% around the average.
What has moved the Guinean Franc recently?
In Guinea, the parallel rate is driven by factors such as foreign-exchange shortages, import financing needs, commodity-export swings. When dollars become scarcer or confidence falls, the street rate climbs ahead of the official central bank of Guinea rate; when supply improves or policy tightens, the gap can narrow again.
Because the parallel rate often moves before official devaluations, its history is a useful early-warning record — a steadily rising trend frequently precedes an official adjustment, while a long plateau suggests relative stability.
Using historical GNF rates
Historical rates help with budgeting, invoicing, remittance planning and spotting trends, but they are not a forecast — past movements do not guarantee future ones. For the live rate, see our main USD to GNF page, and use the converter for exact amounts.
