About Bangladeshi Taka (৳)
The Bangladeshi Taka (BDT, ISO 4217 code 050, symbol ৳) is the official currency of the People's Republic of Bangladesh, issued by Bangladesh Bank (BB, est. 1971). Subdivided into 100 poisha (no longer in widespread use). Banknotes: ৳2, ৳5, ৳10, ৳20, ৳50, ৳100, ৳200 (introduced 2020 commemorating Mujib Year — the 100th birth anniversary of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, founding father of Bangladesh), ৳500, ৳1,000 (the highest denomination; current series features Sheikh Mujibur Rahman portrait and Bangladeshi cultural/historical themes); coins: ৳1, ৳2, ৳5. Bangladesh is the world's 8th-most-populous country (~170 million) and the 35th-largest economy by nominal GDP (~$460B in 2024 per IMF WEO). The economy is dominated by ready-made garments — Bangladesh is the world's #2 RMG exporter after China (~$45B/year, ~84% of total exports), supplying H&M, Walmart, Zara, Levi's, Gap, Target, and most major Western brands. Other major exports: leather goods, frozen fish/shrimp, jute. BB targets 5.5% CPI inflation. The taka was pegged to USD until 2003, then transitioned to a managed-float regime. Inflation reached 9-10% in 2022-2023 amid Russia-Ukraine commodity-price shock.
About Swiss Franc (Fr)
The Swiss Franc (CHF, ISO 4217 code 756, symbol Fr or SFr) is the official currency of Switzerland and Liechtenstein, issued by the Swiss National Bank (SNB, est. 1907). Subdivided into 100 centimes (in French) / Rappen (in German) / centesimi (in Italian) / raps (in Romansh). Banknotes: 10, 20, 50, 100, 200, 1000 CHF; coins: 5, 10, 20, 50 centimes, 1, 2, 5 CHF. CHF is regarded as a global 'safe-haven' currency due to Switzerland's political neutrality, strong Triple-A credit rating, low debt-to-GDP ratio (~17%, among the lowest in OECD), and gold-backed reserves (~22% of SNB foreign reserves were in gold as of 2024). Historically CHF was pegged to gold until 1999 and maintained a unilateral cap of 1.20 CHF/EUR from September 2011 to January 15, 2015 ('Swiss Franc Shock' when SNB unexpectedly abandoned the peg, causing a 30% intraday spike). SNB targets price stability (CPI inflation between 0 and 2% per Federal Act on the SNB).
