History of the Pacific Franc
The Pacific Franc (XPF) is the currency used in the French overseas collectivities of the Pacific, notably New Caledonia, French Polynesia, and Wallis and Futuna. It was introduced in 1945 as a specific currency for these territories to replace the French Franc. The XPF is issued by the Institut d'émission d'Outre-mer (IEOM) and has been pegged to the euro at a fixed rate since 1999. This exchange rate stability has allowed for better economic integration with the mainland while maintaining a distinct monetary identity in these territories.
Monetary Policy of the Pacific Franc
The monetary policy related to the Pacific Franc is managed by the Institut d'émission d'Outre-mer (IEOM). The institution ensures monetary stability in the overseas collectivities by regulating currency issuance and supervising the local banking system. The fixed peg to the euro guarantees low exchange rate volatility. The IEOM primarily uses indirect instruments such as the discount rate and reserve requirements to ensure liquidity and stability in the regional financial system.
Characteristics of the Pacific Franc
The Pacific Franc (XPF) is a rare currency, used only in certain French Pacific collectivities. Its fixed peg to the euro provides exceptional stability in the region.

It is also recognized for its security due to modern anti-counterfeiting measures.
