The official currency of French Polynesia is the CFP franc (symbol: XPF, currency code: XPF). It is issued by the Institut d'Émission d'Outre-Mer (IEOM) and is used in French overseas territories in the Pacific, including Tahiti and the Society Islands. The CFP franc is pegged to the euro at a fixed exchange rate of 1 EUR = 119.33 XPF. It is subdivided into 100 centimes, though centime coins are rarely seen in daily transactions. This currency supports both the local economy and tourism, which is a significant part of French Polynesia’s financial landscape.
