How far it reaches

The rand against the US dollar, British pound, euro and Japanese yen on every TARGET business day from 4 January 1999 (7,132 days to 9 November 2026), from the European Central Bank's euro foreign exchange reference rates. The rand per euro is the ECB's own figure; the dollar, pound and yen are worked out through the euro, and each record says so. More currencies from the same table can follow.

How often it changes

Daily

The ECB publishes the reference rates at about 16:00 CET every TARGET business day (no rates on weekends, New Year, Good Friday, Easter Monday, 1 May, 25 and 26 December).

Where the figures come from

European Central Bank. From the European Central Bank's euro reference rates, reproduced under the ECB's copyright notice (free use with the ECB cited and changes stated; the rand cross rates are worked out by us).
