The task: price and pay in dollars with a rate you can defend

Importers, exporters and finance teams in the WAEMU zone often quote suppliers in dollars while their accounts are kept in CFA francs. The official rate alone does not always reflect what it costs to get dollars in practice. Screenshots from chat groups and manual calls are slow, hard to trace and hard to explain to an auditor or a partner.

Questions from finance and procurement teams

What is the street rate?

It is the rate at which people actually exchange the CFA franc for dollars in the market, as opposed to the official rate set by institutions. The index shows it with a confidence class and the number of sources.

Does the index replace the official rate?

No. It is a second reference. Use the official rate where regulation or your bank requires it, and the street rate to understand the real cost of dollars.

Can I connect it to my own systems?

Yes. Request a free key and call the API from a spreadsheet, a script or your internal tools. The plans below add fresher figures and history.

How reliable is a figure?

Each figure is published with a confidence class and its source count. When confidence is low, the index says so instead of hiding it.
