About the Guinean Franc

Guinea left the CFA franc zone immediately at independence in 1958 to assert monetary sovereignty, first introducing the Guinean franc, then briefly the syli in 1971, before returning to the franc in 1985. Unlike its West African neighbors that still use the CFA franc, Guinea has maintained an independent, freely floating currency for most of its post-independence history, though this has come with periods of high inflation.
