The SHP/EUR pair shows how many euros one St. Helena Pound buys, used by travelers and businesses exchanging between the British Overseas Territory and the eurozone.
Each row combines a UTC date, a rate and the change from the previous available observation. A positive change means the base currency buys more of the quote currency than on the previous available date.
Days without a quotation are not interpolated: the series keeps only observations that were actually received.
Compare several periods before a trip, an international transfer or a foreign-currency invoice. The average, minimum and maximum provide a quick reference, while the table enables a date-by-date check.

The SHP/EUR directed currency pair indicates the value of one St. Helena Pound (SHP) in euros (EUR). This exchange rate is primarily relevant for tourists visiting St Helena, Ascension, and Tristan da Cunha, as well as for businesses engaged in trade or remittances between the territory and the eurozone. When the SHP appreciates against the EUR, it means that one St. Helena Pound can purchase more euros, making imports from Europe cheaper for residents but potentially reducing the competitiveness of local exports.
The St. Helena Pound is pegged at par to the British Pound Sterling (GBP), meaning its value is directly tied to the GBP. Consequently, the SHP/EUR rate is effectively determined by the GBP/EUR exchange rate. The European Central Bank (ECB) sets monetary policy for the eurozone, while the Bank of England influences the GBP, and thus indirectly the SHP. Key drivers include interest rate differentials between the ECB and the Bank of England, inflation trends, economic growth, and political developments in the UK and the eurozone. Additionally, capital flows, risk sentiment, and global commodity prices can affect the GBP/EUR cross, thereby impacting SHP/EUR.
Over the past several years, the SHP/EUR rate has mirrored the fluctuations of GBP/EUR. The period has seen significant volatility due to events such as Brexit negotiations, the COVID-19 pandemic, and shifts in monetary policy. Without specific historical data, it is important to note that the rate has been influenced by the relative strength of the UK and eurozone economies, with periods of sterling weakness often leading to a lower SHP/EUR value. Future movements will continue to depend on economic indicators, policy decisions, and geopolitical developments in both regions.
